Do one time use points have any resort restrictions? How to modify the OTU reservation?

[dsny105]

We plan to purchase Membership Magic and also purchase one-time use points when the 7-month window opens to complete a reservation at BLT. Have never purchased one time use points before.
We'd like to modify the BLT reservation to Riviera if availability opens up. Our BLT points are direct (we have other contracts in the same membership with resale restrictions). Am I correct in thinking we would be able to move the OTU points to a Riviera reservation? Are they linked to one of our direct contracts?

Would I be able to do this modification online if I see the room become available, or would it take a call to Member Services?

Also, since we'll need more than 24 points for the reservation, we'll also have to borrow some, though I'd like it to be as few as possible. Will they make me borrow all the points I need since I could do so, or can I just supplement the OTU points with borrowed points?

Thanks!

Because they are direct points, they are not restricted.

You can combine with your other direct points for RIv and they will work online since you’d be booking 7 months or less.

They do not require you to borrow or use all you have. You can buy the full amount!

Initially buying them, you have to call in to MS to buy and book with them.
