Gift Miles Send Miles from your Account to another existing Account to say thanks or to help someone out who's just shy of a Reward. A fee of $0.15 per Mile applies.

Yes, you can give AIR MILES to a friend, but the method matters for the cost. In 2026, there are two ways to do this. The first is to directly transfer miles from your account to theirs, but this almost always incurs a per-mile fee (often around $0.015 per mile), which can make it a poor financial decision. A supportive peer "value" hack: the much better way is to simply book a flight for them using your miles. Most loyalty programs allow you to put anyone's name on a reward ticket. This costs you zero "transfer fees" and achieves the same result. Some programs in 2026 (like Air Canada's Aeroplan or British Airways) also offer "Family Sharing" or "Household Accounts," where up to 8 people can pool their miles for free. Always check if a "transfer promotion" is running before paying fees, as airlines occasionally offer "1-to-1" transfer bonuses that waive the usual costs.
