Fees range in price depending on the company you are working with, but they can really add up. Essentially you would be paying a small fee per mile transferred with the average fee being around 15 cents per mile.

In almost every instance, airlines will charge you a fee to transfer miles from your account to another person's loyalty account. This is a common point of confusion because "transferring" points from a credit card to an airline is usually free, but "gifting" or "transferring" already-earned miles between individuals typically incurs a cost of about $0.01 to $0.015 per mile, plus a flat processing fee (often $15–$30). For example, transferring 10,000 miles might cost you $125, which is frequently more expensive than the actual value of the miles themselves. Airlines do this to encourage each passenger to earn their own status and to prevent a "secondary market" of mile trading. However, some programs like British Airways Executive Club and JetBlue offer "Family Pooling" or "Household Accounts," which allow family members to share and pool their miles into a collective pot for free, making it a much smarter way to consolidate points without paying the steep transfer penalties.
