Can you explain what is happening? People are having other brokers access MVC points to rent points and or a reservation at a resort?

What I understand is someone with excess points contacts one of the brokers and the they are offered a flat rate per point. The broker then either has guests already looking for specific reservations or they make speculative reservations to post and list online. The broker makes the necessary reservation. The difference between what they rent the reservations for and the flat fee for the points used is the broker's profit.

@dioxide45 Thanks for the reply. What is the rule related to 20,000 MVC points? Does this mean the person with excess points may be restricted to transferring a max of 20,000 points. Also there is the the 12 question form the owner must fill out and get approval from MVC. In addition there is the MFA issue as well. So there are 3 roadblocks to overcome?

The restriction is on a given account receiving more than 20,000 points in a year, from all transfers combined; an account can transfer more than 20,000 points out, just not more than 20,000 in a year to the same account.

The brokers don't facilitate transfers. They just book the reservations directly under each owner's account. They used to facilitate transfers which led to the 20K rule. As for the guest form, I would expect the broker fills that out as they have access to the owner account.
