Does DVC still have one time points for purchase even with the current borrowing restrictions in place?

I need 15 more points to book all the nights I want to book. This is after borrowing 50% of next year's points. I am booking a February tip to Aulani, Ocean view. I could book one less night or downgrade our view, but I would rather be frivolous for this vacation.

Yes. You can buy up to 24 foe the 7 month bookings.

We've done that. Easy-peasy. MS will get you all set in a flash.

Thank you. This doesn't seem logical to me, that I can not borrow the extra points, but can purchase them. If the reason for not being able to borrow, is to make sure there is availability for more folks to book, then allowing me to buy the points seems to contradict the reason for the restricted borrowing. But I am still glad I can purchase the extra points and I know my contract allows them to restrict both borrowing and banking.

The points you are sold are current UY points owned by Disney so they are not adding to the system like borrowing would.

if DVC didn’t sell those points to owners, they would use the points themselves to book rooms and sell those for cash.

So, but saving them for owners to buy, they are, in essence leaving rooms in inventory for more owners to book. I know it sounds crazy but it does sort of make sense.

You can also ask for a borrowing exception. I was able to get, I believe, around 25 points approved that way.

Thank you! I was monkeying around with my signature - but I think I've landed on the final product.
