Free usage of Marriott Holding Points expiring 12/31/22

[Fasttr]

Please feel free to delete -- but if there is a generous TUGger that has unrestricted expiring 2022 points that they are unable to use, would they be willing to transfer a small amount (whatever the minimum is) to someone who just recently gained access to points via Abound.

I see two test scenarios:
1) An owner with unenrolled Marriott weeks who gained access to Abound via Vistana. We would use the owner's Marriott Owner ID (8 digits)
2) An owner with no Marriott weeks using the owner's Marriott Owner ID that was generated from Vistana (13 digits)

I don't care if the points are transferred to my account -- I'd just like to know if it works or not.

Are the Vistana accounts theoretically capable of accepting 2022 points, or would 2023 be the theoretical 1st year this would work?

That's a good question.

I don't think that the Marriott IT team would have programmed in a restriction from transferring in 2022 points, but if the test fails I also think it would be worth seeing if anyone has success in 2023.

I can also make reservations in 2022 (by pulling in 2023) -- so I think it would still be a valid test.

I think the minimum to transfer is 25 points?

Late to the game here. Aren't these MVCD Trust Hold 120 points able to be used for Avis certificates or Travel Insurance? Understand that resort credit is off the table if not attached to same name (per above post).
