I have a person who wants to do a one time transfer to me of 500 points. What can I book with these? Are they good for airfare, etc?

Any help would be great!

As has been noted, you have to already have dvc to accept a transfer. Is your friend saying he/she will make a reservation for you using up to 500 points? That would be allowed. For 500 points you can get an amazing number of options--anything from a studio for six+ weeks in the low season to a three bedroom for three nights over spring break or Christmas week.

Happy shopping! I wish I had 500 points!

Everyone here is correct. DVC points can only be transered between DVC contracts.

I'm wondering why someone wants to give you 500 points? That's a lot of points.
As Boca pointed out, they can be rented for $5000.

With DVC points, the best deal by far generally involves booking a room at a DVC resort. The other options, including booking at non-DVC hotels owned by Disney, usually don't give as much value for the points.

And yeah, the going rate for one-time use of 500 DVC points is $5000, maybe more if you book a room and auction it on eBay.
