Unfortunately then, in my opinion, I agree with Southwest that you don't have a valid case for an exception.

Which I think should be obvious - if you have Path A to buy direct from Southwest, compared to Path B where another person handles the transaction as a business, of course Path B will be more expensive than Path A. Great option to top off some points to get a reward flight, especially if your reward points were going to expire soon and you needed to use them. Not recommended to purchase points for the majority of a ticket.

It's not likely that the points from a hotel stay would post on/before December 31, but certainly a good idea if it had been thought of sooner. Book the hotel through southwest.com to ensure the points qualify for Companion Pass. Purchased points do not count towards any status tier (A-List, A-List Preferred) or Companion Pass. I agree with the others who posted, flying is probably the only way to ensure you get the points in time.
