I'm not quite sure if this is would work or is allowed by Disney, so hoping someone on here will know.
For Oct 2015 we are planning a trip and will be 50 points shy of what we need including borrowed points.
Can I call and make my once year added purchase of 25 points for 2014, and bank those, then in 2015 purchase 25 more?
I'm nervous about buying transfer points from a random person, and the timeshare store seems to only offer transfer points in large quantities, usually 3x more then what i need.

For Jan. 2012 trip, I wanted to do the same thing and it wasn't allowed. I would call member services and ask as rules do change.
I would also contact The Timeshare Store as some owners will brake down their points to smaller amounts. I did have to buy rent more points from them than I needed, but since that time I have used them all.

Thanks, I'll try calling member services and Time Share Store, and see if either of these options will work before rolling the dice on buying transfer points from an individual.

Just a thought here -- would paying cash (with DVC discount) for a night or two help out? Good luck!:mickey:

I see you have a January trip planned also. Not sure what your use year is but maybe redistributing how those points are allocated would help?
