Built a booking site to help owners use surplus points - looking for beta testers

Fellow timeshare owner here.
I got tired of how hard it is to actually rent out surplus points, so I built a thing: bookmypoints.com.
It’s a “co-op” booking site by owners, for owners. When you register, you prove your ownership. Guests book directly through the site, and their cost is enough to cover your maintenance dues. No up-front cost to list. No need to predict demand or book speculatively.
Priority access to bookings is driven by referrals, so the hope is that owners share with friends they’d already be renting to anyway. The goal is a win-win: you reduce your costs, and your friends get a good deal on a great resort.
Launching with Marriott Vacation Club first since that’s what I own and could verify the booking flow against. Adding other programs once the core flow is solid. Curious which one you’d want next.
I’ve explored most of the alternatives (RedWeek, Koala, TUGBBS, etc.) and none checked all the boxes. I suspect others feel the same way.
During the early access period, guests pay owners directly and I take no cut. Payment processing on the platform is coming soon. I do help facilitate a rental agreement.
It’s early and there are rough edges. Would love help kicking the tires. Try to sign up as an owner, try to book something as a guest, tell me what’s confusing or broken.
(Not trying to sell anything, not an exit company or broker, not affiliated with any developer. Just an owner frustrated with the status quo.)
