buying a couple points from disney

[teacher2525]

Will disney sell you a couple of points to complete a reservation that you may just be shy of? I thought I heard that somewhere. If so, how much do they charge?

at the 7 month window, you can get up to an additional 24 pts for $15 per pt, IIRC.

I purchased 3 points for our Christmas vacation. They just take your credit card #. Thats it.

Here's the fine print (from the Members' website):

One-Time-Use Vacation Points

As a Disney Vacation Club Member, occasionally you may find yourself in need of just few extra vacation points in order to book that perfect dream vacation. Previously, this required borrowing vacation points from a future use year, but very recently a new alternative was introduced. They're called "one-time-use" vacation points and are available for a fee of $15 ($13.33 plus $1.67 tax) per vacation point. Availability of one-time-use vacation points may be limited or suspended from time to time, and the fee is subject to change.

Details:

* One-time-use vacation points are vacation points available for Disney Vacation Club Members to use as an alternative to borrowing vacation points from the following use year's allotment.
* You can obtain a maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points once per use year per membership.
* A maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points are processed in a single transaction, not multiple transactions.
* The fee for one-time-use vacation points is $15 (including tax) per vacation point, and is subject to change.
* One-time-use vacation points expire according to the use year of the reservation booked and are non-refundable, non-transferable and cannot be banked or borrowed.
* One-time-use vacation points are not available for waitlist reservations.
* One-time-use vacation points cannot be applied retroactively to existing reservations.
* One-time-use vacation points are only available for Members whose contract is closed and in good standing.
* One-time-use vacation points are available only for Disney Vacation Club resorts, Disney Collection, Adventurer Collection and World Passport Collection reservations.
* One-time-use vacation points used for Disney Vacation Club resort reservations can only be used up to 7 months prior to arrival.
* One-time-use vacation points for Disney Collection, Adventurer Collection and World Passport reservations can be used according to the booking guidelines for each individual collection

A member would have to transfer points to complete a reservation. If they needed an additional day they could transfer points from a member or rent a reservation for that last night from a member and have it linked to their existing reservation.
