Please excuse if this has already been covered [:I]
Is it possible to transfer or 'gift' FC miles between accounts?
Reason: My parents will earn miles on upcoming flight, however are unlikely to fly longhaul again. Can they transfer the miles to my FC account to allow me to make use of them? [?]

I think the answer is No. However, they can use their miles to book flights or upgrades for you.

Transfer of miles between accounts is not allowed - if you do a search there have been a few posts/discussions about this that should explain it in more details

Page on VS site about buying miles.
So you can buy upto 25,000 a year yourself, and you can received upto 75,000 a year as gifts. 25,000 miles costs £390.
