I am thinking about posting a transfer request, but I don't know the procedure for actually transferring the points. Who calls MS and how does it work?
The transfer must be initiated by the member providing them to you. They will need to know your name and city , I believe. (They will not need your membership number .) You cannot call MS and tell them you want to accept a transfer - that will need to come from the other member.
You might contact MS to double check how it can best be done - I know some have used a 3-way call so everyone knows when the transfer is complete since the transferror and transferree will both be on the line with MS as the transaction takes place.
