Points from member services

[Korea Ears]

Is it possible to have a point transfer and buy points from member services to cover a reservation. Due to a change of dates, i will have 2 weekend dates instead of one which will leave me 4 points short.

One-Time-Use Vacation Points information from the member website:

One-Time-Use Vacation Points
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.

I understand this. I just want to make sure these one time use points can be combined with a transfer. I already did the transfer and i will be 4 points short because of 2 weekend dates instead of one.

Since a transfer means those points are yours, and the points you buy from Disney are effectively yours, it shouldn't be a problem.

I used some Disney purchased points to complete a night on a stay - so their points were combined with my points for a single night of my stay.

It would only be an issue if you were a member trying to add Disney purchased points to complete a night on a reservation you rented from another member, since that would impact 2 different memberships. In that case, the owner of the reservation would have to purchase those extra points.

But for a transfer, it would not matter.
