Questions about transfers

[kniquy]

So i am looking into a transfer and had a couple questions.
1. As far as i know it usually takes place with a 3 way call with member services - is MS able to connect the 3 way call or do the members -- no clue how to do that.
2. i have been in contact with a member that has June 2017 points available so i was wonder - can you transfer points from the upcoming year? I just thought that you would only be able to transfer current years points.
3. If I were to receive a transfer of someones June 2017 points - I can borrow (for an april 2017 trip) or bank them into 2018 -- is this correct?

Just want to make sure i have all the facts before i go ahead with any $$ transfer

A three way call is often used but that's about the comfort level of the members and not required. The owner of the points can do it on their own. MS will not establish the call.

Current year and next year points can be transferred.

Transferred points can be banked, however they cannot be borrowed.

You would not be able to use June 2017 points for an April 2017 trip. If you bank them, they maintain their UY and resort.

As noted a three way call is not necessary as the member who is transferring the points can do it if he has identifying information of the recipient. However, as to how to do a three way call and assuming you have an iPhone or other smart phone: google "how make three way call [insert name of smart phone you have]"

You might want to look over the rules for transferring points, especially G and J.
