Buy/transfer points?

I think I already know the answer to this... but here goes.

Does anyone know if there is any way to buy eleVAte points? or to transfer from one account to another? If not, has anyone discovered a workaround?

It is a real shame when you are only a few points short of an award ticket, especially when points start expiring at the end of March .

Hilton points can be converted to Elevate points, and you could theoretically buy Hilton points if you needed to (this is probably not very efficient unless you're topping off an account). I just did that bought $25 of Hilton points, transferred, and now have $80-ish of Elevate points.

Thanks! ^

Its worth paying a premium if you are only a few points short. I wish VX would sell points, or let you use a combination of cash and points.
