    Apart from buying points is there any way to earn/transfer a small amount quickly? I need 287 for a redemption booking.

    The last time that happened to me I phoned up to make the booking and they waived the points.

    You can now also buy points when you make the booking, although the minimum is likely 1,000.

    You can do “points plus cash” bookings at a lot of properties now and they can be quite decent value.
