What a Points Transfer Agreement Is and When It Applies

A Points Transfer Agreement is a written contract that records the transfer or assignment of loyalty, reward, or similar points between parties. It establishes the identities of the transferor and transferee, the number and type of points being moved, any consideration or fees, the effective date, and conditions or restrictions that affect the transferred balance. The agreement clarifies rights and liabilities for both parties, including reverse transfers, expirations, and dispute resolution. It can be used for individual transfers, corporate accounts, estate settlements, or business-to-business arrangements involving points as assets.
