Overdraft Points

On the LY Matmid site in the Points Report there is a slot for Overdraft Points. Anyone have any idea what that is used for?

'Bumping ' this. Is there such a concept as 'overdraft points'? I have a vague recollection that there was in the past but it was stopped, or am I mistaken? I need a few extra points for a bonus ticket for my wife, which I will be earning on the same trip. Can this be done?

Not sure I understand; you need to earn a few more points in order to purchase a bonus ticket?

Yes. The alternative would be to use cash to make up the difference.

You can issue a voucher to Europe (as an example) for 900 points while you are missing some, Then you are in overdraft "situation", Once the ticket will be issued if you managed to collect more points and it cover the overdraft there is no problem, If not, you will need to pay 1$ for every point in the overdraft...
