Best way to get back to Grand Mayan - Riviera Maya

[dbaggs Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close dbaggs]

Hi

My family and I already have a two bedroom exchange for March 2010. Shortly after bragging about our 2010 winter vacations to friends we decided we would try to get them there as well using another of our timeshares as a trader. Unfortunately that's when we discovered RCI's great 5-1 rule.

I'd be grateful if some expert could help out with the following questions.

I have week 1 Orlando (Parkway International) 2brm, week 25 Pochonos 2 (Tanglwood) 2bdrm, week 33 Williamsburg 3bdrm and Iowa (what was I thinking..Clover Ridge), week 34, 3 bedroom.

Has any one traded a similar resort with SFX to get the Grand Mayan?

In addition, is there any other ways to get the Grand Mayan using these timeshares as trades.

Thx
Darrin

If you have consecutive weeks that counts as one use and if you have more than one unit for that week that too counts as one use. So, if you can get the exact same week as an exchange for your friends you will be within the 1-5 rule, or if you can get them the week before or after you're golden.

I don't think the resorts you own will be what SFX is looking for.

You can ask SFX your self here on the site if they will take them. If they do not try Trading places next that should be your best bet if that does not work then try Platinum and if that fails try DAE. YO can ask all of these companies if they will take your week or the likely hood of and exchange here they all answer questions on this site. Timeshare Exchange Companies - Timeshare Forums
