As most everyone knows by now, Wyndham will be eliminating the ability of owners to transfer points between owners' accounts on March 1, 2009.

I am looking at renting a small amount of points from another owner. These are points that are valid from Jan 2010 thru Dec 2010. Would I be able to transfer the 2010 points into my account before March 1, 2009? or is it too early to do this now? And, how long does it take to get points transferred between accounts?

No, it is not too early. In fact obtaining 1/10-12/10 points now gives the full 2010 year available for booking within Wyndham beginning March first using the 10 mth reservation period. Pricing theory should place a premium on these points. Due to the restriction in transferring points the price is now likely to collapse as we get closer to March 1st.

Transfer between accounts while not instant is close to it. Really depends on the seller trusting the buyer or waiting to be certain of funds. After the transfer is initiated you likely will see points in your account with 20 min or less.
