Somewhat hidden program, but I found it and used it today. Planning a Business Rewards return for two to UK, flying EY MEL-AUH-MAN over Christmas NY. Had the points to do the outbound, no problem, but was short for the return journey by ~50k points.
The return flight opened up today, and I was able to call Customer Services and buy the 49k points I needed (you need 80% already in your account for the intended purchase). Transfer to my VFF account took ~ half hour.
I did have to call back to VFF International section to get them to force-synch my VFF actual with the Search and Book databases, and that was then all good. Saved $$$!
The program link is here, under the VFF 'Redeem' menu.
