Hello,
I am a new Timeshare owner with Vidanta. I realize that my contract only came with one year of SFX Diamond membership, and it will be expiring in a few months. I am inclining to pay and renew the diamond membership, but would like to hear your opinions? Any issues with booking with them with availability or price? How is the availability and quality of hotels for Europe, Thailand and Australia?
Thanks for your opinions!

Europe doesn't have many timeshare in/near the big cities. Thailand has a couple of Marriotts in Phuket. Australia has several Wyndhams and a couple Marriotts and lots of Accor. Are you able to join Interval International instead?

Read your contract -
keeping SFX it may be linked to keeping access to any Privilege Weeks in your contract.

note -I have a 15 year old Mayan Palace contract that predates this program.
