Guess I should clarify a bit....I think SFX is a good option for those who have good flexibility and who wish to travel in areas of which SFX specializes.

They have been more than responsive and kind to me, but unfortunately I just do not have flexibility in my trades for the most part. Plus I am I guess very interactive and like to plan and know where my options are routinely, as with RCI. I have done very well with RCI, with little to no flexibility in Mexico and East Coast and I can do everything online and track daily which I like. I also found in the one time I did have an issue with a resort, flooding in room, RCI, gave me an additional week free for my ruined vacation and clothes etc. The resort did nothing.

SFX also responded quickly when I had an issue ( 2 issues in over 18 years of timesharing, so not too bad I guess, one with RCI resort and one with SFX resort, both in Mexico LOL), and they immediately changed a second week I had a week booked with the same resort but though I appreciated that immensely, RCI did more with a free week.

I am still going to continue to try with SFX as I do think under the right circumstances they are a good exchange company and for some with more flexibility they could be better than RCI.

Right now I have no deposits in with SFX. They do specialize in Mexico but some of the resorts in Mexico are just not to my liking that they have or they just need too much flexibility. Plus I am pretty particular in that if I deposit a 2 bedroom Mayan, well then I really want a two bedroom unit in exchange. And I really want to be able to interact more online.

As Penderz said he/she had bad luck but I disagree in that SFX is a bad deal. Maybe penderz could extend his/her deposit by renewing membership or another deposit if they wanted to try once more time. Sounds to me, like penderz is more flexible then me...so it is possible it could work for penderz...obviously with any exchange company new to someone there is a learning curve.

I do know there are a lot of other posters who have had very good luck with SFX. I also have to say that I did receive a PM from Mark at SFX, regarding my post so obviously they are receptive to comments and such, which is impressive.

Now since I mentioned RCI as a favored right now....what has happened to their site.....hope they fix it up asap...can't do a thing.....this is a good time for SFX to capitalize on what is occurring with RCI for sure....

Good luck to all with exchanges!!!
