One Time Use Question - "Buying" one time use points direct from DVC

[js]

Hi.

If I want to book one night at a DVC resort and I have not purchased one-time use points for that U/Y and the one night is less than 25 points, can I do this on my own. I always thought it had to be purchased if I was tagging on a night to an existing reservation or if I didn't have enough points for a complete reservation but could I use them for just one night I do not have enough points to cover the night?

Also, are there restrictions on using the points? I would like to book the one night for February and my seven month mark is in a couple of weeks for that one night. Can I purchase the points to make a reservation seven months away?

Thank you all so much!

Yes, you can purchase OTUP for a one night stay. Yes, you can do so when your 7 month window opens. You will have to call MS to obtain the OTUPs, you can not do so online. The restrictions are a limit of 24 per UY.

This is perfect! Thank you. I thought I would have to rent but now I can just purchase and have control. Thank you so much!

Yes, I just did this very thing. A night opened up at VGF, and I have been wanting to try it just to see if I would like it and want to stay there other times, but it's hard to get into, so when I saw one night appear on the planning tool I called up and grabbed it by purchasing some one time points. So we'll see, I'll get a taste of the red roof inn over there and see what it's like, hehe. I've never even stayed in the GF hotel, so I'm excited.

What is the typical cost of OTUP? I might be about 4 points short next year.
