Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has bought one time usage points and then borrowed points from the following year to complete a trip? I was thinking of giving my parents some of our points for them to take a vacation. We have a few points left from this year but not enough for a full weeks worth. Is it possible for me to get the 24 one time use points and then borrow the rest from next year? TIA.
 
I have used OTUPs for a trip in 2013 and it was easy. Just ask the CM to do it and give you the price. In most cases they suggest it before you ask if you don't have enough points. I cannot recall if they let you do it if you have points you can borrow. You'll receive a better answer on your question if you call them and pose it to a CM. They have always been willing to answer questions on the phone for me.

Good luck.
 
You can use OTU points at the 7 month mark or later. It doesn't matter about borrow. You can have points available for borrowing and still purchase OTU points.

One-Time-Use Vacation Points
https://dvc.disney.go.com/dvc/member/memberDetail?id=OneTimeUseVacationPointsDetailPage

See the details on how you can obtain 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.

* Available when you purchase directly from Disney.

• 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.

You can abolutely do this. I have a reservation for October unsing 2013 points, one time use points & borrowed 2014 points. At the time I bought the one time use points, I wasn't even using all of my available 2013 points yet. And I definitely hadn't borrowed from 2014 yet.
 

I'm so glad to hear this. Thank you all very much for the information.
