We have been a Disney Vacation Club member for years, and we have only used our points in Disney World at this point.  My wife has mentioned using our points elsewhere like on Branson vacation packages, or even the Poconos.  I have no yen to do this because the vacation still costs additional money when not in a Disney resort.  On top of that I like Disney, and that is that. 

Being a Disney Vacation Club member I read a lot of different things pertaining to DVC.  I know a lot of DVC’ers that will rent off their points if they aren’t going to use them, and it is a win-win situation for everyone.  Well, Disney Vacation Club is now offering a new way to get points if you are short.

I would never do this because $15 a point is a bit steep.  I have sources to get points for $9 and up.

One-Time-Use Vacation Points

See the details on how you can purchase 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.
