How many extra points can you purchase for a reservation?

[LouisianaDisneyFan]

I'm trying to plan how to use my last little bit of unused points for the year. I searched through the website and can't find any mention of purchasing the few extra points needed to complete a reservation. I do remember that they are $15.00 per point, but what is the limit of how many you can purchase? Also, does this limit apply to each reservation or to your account as a whole each year? I tried to do a search for buying extra points here on DISboards, but predictably, the search engine came up with tons and tons of threads about resale!

Thanks for any info!
Evey =)

I believe it's 24 points and you can do this only once a year.

24. Full details are on the member website under vacation planning > making reservations.

Thanks for the info! I think I need to explore around DVCmember.com more to avoid future silly questions...

It's once per Use Year and only for reservations within 7 months.

It wasn't a silly question. DVCmember.com isn't the most user friendly site when it comes to finding specific info on many subjects regarding the use and available "extras" of our membership. Though I don't know how they could organize it any better, as every member has different, somewhat specific, uses for the site.

It would probably help if the put the a search DVC back on the website. Now you can only search the entire Disney system which is pretty worthless.

I wouldn't worry about asking questions here on the DISboards, many of us joined this site just so we could ask questions. And even more are willing to answer questions.

Here's what MS website has on the one time use points:

One-Time-Use Vacation Points
See the details on how you can purchase a minimal number of additional vacation points to use towards your stay of choice.
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.
