Is there any leeway with one-time use point purchases?

We had to cancel a reservation due to illness. It was made up of borrowed points and 7 OTU points. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the points and was thinking of taking my mother to Disneyland for three nights as she's never been. To do that I'll need to buy 18 OTU points--but that's one more point than the 24-pt limit! I could do just two nights and pay cash for the third, but then I have extra points that will be wasted and expiring at the end of the UY.

So my question is, has anybody ever heard of DVC making an exception to allow the purchase of more than the limit OTU points? In my case it's just one point!

I used the chat feature to ask--the answer is no. Not exceptions.

I think it has something to do with the minimum purchase point of 25 points for most of the DVC resorts.

If you haven't used your one transfer per year, maybe someone has a point or two they can't use before expiring and could transfer to you? Is there even a minimum number you have to transfer?

Is borrowing from a future use year not an option?

No points left--that's why I bought 7 to begin with.

But MS were nice enough to swap the 7 OTU points and the points in danger for points that I have in another reservation. The latter are bankable, so I'm good now. I just won't take that extra trip.
