This is the same policy being quoted in 2015 in this thread, but I've personally done it multiple times in 2016 and 2017. Usually I would get an email a couple of weeks before the stay reminding me that it would revert to a paid stay if there were insufficient points one week prior to check-in, and I would transfer UR points before the deadline.
I asked when the policy changed and they say it changed when WoH was implemented, but I definitely booked a 125,000 point stay in July 2017 with hardly any points in my account. They say the system won't even allow them to do it anymore. Any other recent experiences?
A few weeks ago I was also trying to do the same thing and got the same response as you (only 1,000 pt deficit allowed). I hung up and tried again later and was successful (140,000 point deficit over 2 reservations)....so I would suggest HUCA. However, I have not yet been successful at making a C+P reservation without sufficient points though (I was able to do this all throughout 2017).
