Ok, so I know that you can purchase I believe, 25 one-time-use (OTU) points per year as a DVC member for $15 a piece. But my questions are; do you need to purchase them prior to booking the reservation? That is, do I need to have them paid for in order for the OTU points to show up in my account prior to booking the reservation or will I see an option to purchase the OTU points when I begin the booking, just like I see the option to borrow points?

I don't want to be ready to book and then see that I need to purchase the OTU points separately and therefore, not ready to complete the reservation.

Thanks in advance.

The one time use points are not offered online, they must be purchased through MS when you make the reservation. Keep in mind these cannot be purchased until the 7 month mark.

Ah ok, so I'll need to call MS for this then. I will be at 7-months out when I call. I've already made two reservations for a three-resort split stay. I'm just looking for eight more points for the final two-day stay at the third resort.
