What if I need more points in a single year?
DVC points can also be "borrowed" or moved up a year.
An owner has 200 points with a February Use Year. In October 2012 the owner wishes to book a trip which requires 220 points. The first 200 will come from the 2012 Use Year. The remaining 20 points can be "borrowed" from the 2013 Use Year.
With 20 points borrowed, the owner would then have 180 points remaining to use in the 2013 Use Year.
Disney Vacation Club also allows members to purchase up to 24 "one time use" points per year. Rather than borrowing points in the example above, the owner could purchase 20 points from DVC which are valid for that single reservation. The current price is $15 per point.
One time use points can only be purchased and used for reservations made 7 months prior to arrival. The points are non-refundable, non-transferrable and are not bankable.
Members who find themselves consistenly lacking adequate points may wish to consider purchasing additional points.
