THE COUNTRY CLUB - HYDERABAD Review

Hi All,

1. On Saturday, the day before, I received a phone call from a representative of Country Club, Bangalore (Mr David) that

I had filled in a form at Garuda Mall and had been chosen as one of the 500 ‘lucky winners’ from 100,000 applicants. Mr David offered three ‘free gifts’ – which included a Rs 25,000 worth holiday (one week’s stay at a five-star hotel in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Goa or Kerala), a one-day free outing at Country Club Sarjapur Rd, and a free ‘crystal’ kitchenware.

I went there along with my wife yesterday mroning... We were told to go through a one-hour presentation. The salesperson told us about their package of Rs. 1,35,000 /- which will give 2 weeks of vacation at any of their 5- star (??) resorts in India or world wide per year. This is for life time and for 3 Generations (bullshit!!!)..Plus they pomised to give free memebershjip for life time to Country Clubs..and 1089 sqf.ft of land 70 km from New Airport at devenahalli aboslutely free!!!...That time itself i started getting doubts as it sounded too good to be true..however I told them that I wanted to discuss it with my brother who is in US and who is a member of Country club...and I would let them know in the evening..but they told that thta;s not possible and I will have to make atleast 50% of payment right there...I declined the offer then and there (THANK GOD!!!), collected my free gift of cheap glass bowls, 1 days free entry to the Sarjapur club and the travel voucher to any of the 4 mentioned places..the travel time is from April - September 2008.

One question here..aftre reading all the reviews..i am happy that i made the right decision and escaped falling prey into their trap...however I wud like to know that can i go ahead with the 7 days 6 nights package as I have the voucher with me..?? is it reliable enough?? will there be any hidden costs later on?? Pls let me know..u can reach me at sudheer_acharya@rediffmail.com.
