One time only points

[JLitfin]

Does anyone know the cost of the one time only points and how many can you purchase at a time? I would like to add another night to my reservation and need about 20 points. Or would it be better to rent the points from another owner? Thanks.

They are $15 a point and you can get up to 24 pts. We actually purchased 20 as well this year and it was $300.

Enjoy the extra night!

Thanks guys, I guess I won't be adding an additional night, my DH said okay until we discovered I will need to purchase some points for the extra night. I guess we'll keep our reservation the way it is 3 nights instead of 4.

What does it mean when it says "only available for a closed contract?"

Those who buy directly from Disney are allowed to book reservations with their newly purchased points as soon as Disney receives their deposit. Apparently, they may not purchase OTU points until after the deal actually closes.

Ah..thanks. I just bought from Disney and sent my paperwork back yesterday. I assume once processed, I can buy the extra points if needed and also bank my current year as we already traveled once this year and are planning on January for our first trip "home".
