Yes the 50% rule is still in place. The system won't allow you to borrow more than 50% now (at first it did and then they would cancel reservations over the limit but that changed fairly quickly).Is Disney still limiting borrowing for reservations to only 50%? I need an additional 13 points after the 50%. Will Disney cancel the reservation?
Can you buy one time use points from Disney to help make up the 13 points?Is Disney still limiting borrowing for reservations to only 50%? I need an additional 13 points after the 50%. Will Disney cancel the reservation?

I called today and was on hold for an hour and 45 minutes. By the time I talked to someone the room I wanted was already gone. So they put me on a wait list even though it was more than my 50%. I was going to buy points but she said it went through. I hope it doesn´t get cancelled.Call Ms and you can purchase while making the reservation. It’s up to 24 per UY and are $19 a point.
They are non refundable and if you cancel the trip, the points will be returned to your account but will expire at the end of the UY of the canceled trip. They can not be banked or borrowed.

My waitlist came through today using over 50% of borrowed points (18 points over). I am worried it's going to get cancelled so I may call tomorrow and buy the points just in case.

The email we got recently said the 50% would be going away "soon", so hopefully it won't be much longer. Maybe they're waiting until we're within 7 months of 2022 so everyone can book the entire 2021 before they lift it. Then again, that's probably overthinking it.
It didn't actually say that the 50% borrowing rule would be going away soon....it said that some of the temporary adjustments that had been made would be going away soon.
Member Policy Updates
We would also like to share that some of the temporary adjustments made last year to certain Disney Vacation Club policies will be ending soon. We ask that you please visit the Member website for details about policies related to reservation cancelations, the borrowing and holding of points, exchange fees and more.
It is vague the way it's worded (the word "some" sticks out), no doubt intentionally. However it does imply that's included.
The borrowing restriction's main intent is to offset the extra flexibility, so one would hope that restoring the standard policies would carry over to this aspect. If I had to take a very (VERY) mildly educated guess, I'd say they'd lift it on 6/2/2021. That would effectively restore full borrowing for 2022, giving everyone a crack at the 7 month booking window for the entire year 2021 with the 50% restriction in place.
General consensus seems to be that the email was primarily referring to holding and cancelation policies being reinstated. I agree that borrowing restriction sticks around for a bit.It didn't actually say that the 50% borrowing rule would be going away soon....it said that some of the temporary adjustments that had been made would be going away soon.
