My DH and I were just talking about this today (because I bought points from someone on Friday to transfer). I'm not really sure of the best way so I can't wait to see the replies.

I think a lot depends on how well you know the person and if it's a rental or a transfer. If you transfer the points I don't think there's anything you can do if someone doesn't pay and you have already transfered the points. A rental is different because as the owner you have control of the reservation.

Last year when I rented points I payed half up front and the other half maybe 60 days out (both by check). I had to trust that everything would be in order when I checked in and it was. I was lucky I 'knew' the owner and didn't have any trust issues but things can happen. A friend of mine had a small problem a few years ago when she rented points from someone she didn't know.
