Short 3 points....can I pay cash ?

[MiaSRN62]

I need a last minute reservation for end of September. I am 3 points approx short for this. Can I pay DVC cash to make up the shortage/difference ? I somehow remember there is a policy on this but can't find it. Anyone know how much it would cost per point ?

Thank you

Yes. You can buy one time use points, up to 24, for $15 each, as long as you have not done so already in this UY.

It's very easy...I bought a few of them myself in May...

And although it doesn't apply in your case, for future reference, you can only do that at 7 months or less.

Thanks to you as well John.....this is a very last minute add-on reservation.

I really really do need more points !!!! Unfortunately, kids' college tuitions are killing the budget !

Vacation Planning > Making Reservations > One-Time-Use Vacation Points

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.

Just a side question on the one time use points...are they available to obtain in online booking, or do you have to call MS if you want to use them in a reservation?

Available only by phoning MS, for now.
