SFX is an independent exchange company, so in most cases, they don't receive bulk space banked weeks from resorts.
Most of the larger resort systems are affiliated with RCI and II, so they are contractually obligated to do their bulk space banking exclusively with RCI and II.
SFX's inventory comes from individual owners depositing their weeks one week at a time, and from trading that they do with other exchange companies. Because of this, it's really hard to predict what will happen.
Do you have a deposit with strong trading power? Did you do a "request first," or a full deposit?

I have gotten Aruba twice through SFX. The first time was a Feb. week so they do get those weeks. I don't know if they were deposits or through an agreement with Divi Resorts, but both exchanges were for Divi, but different resorts. However, SFX won't make promises. You should also request other locations or a broader time span to have a better chance of a match. Also, don't expect a match far in advance. They can only match you with what they have available and weeks typically won't become available until a few months to a year before. Requesting early does get you higher on the list of requesters, though.

I think you will probably have to wait a while because its my understanding that if owners cannot reserve and deposit their weeks more than a year in advance, then the earliest space could become available would be around January 2017. Putting your request in, two years in advance should put you in the front of the queue for when it does become available.
