Are they Mayan Palace weeks, or are they US weeks (Hawaii, Vegas), are they rated (Gold Crown, Five star) are they seasonal, (Prime Season, Low season) Please let us know what our Mayan Palace weeks might be worth.
The main week you get is a normal week that you can request anywhere except at your home resort. It is good for 2 years from the date of the week that you deposit and it can involve a request that occurs from January 1 to December 31 (e.g., no seasonal restrictions). The second week is a bonus week with the same restrictions as the main week except that the exchange fee for it is higher (typically $399, $499 or $599) and it expires in twelve months or the end of the next calendar. Week 3 is a Mexican bonus week that has the same properties as a regular bonus week but can be used only in Mexico. Given SFX's alliance with the Mayan Resorts (note there is no 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 rule as I have booked 10 weeks at Mayan resorts in a short period of time), it is likely that you will receive a trade into a Mayan resort from SFX.
