We rented points a few months ago and had them transferred to our account. It really was a snap. However, it was not instant....it probably took close to 48 hours. I did learn a couple of things. One is that the TP became June 2005 UY once hitting my account, althougth they were actually a different month/uy prior to.............which worked out fine for me. All in all, i thought it was a very easy way to go!
good luck!
