Virgin Atlantic Flying Club - Transfering or Gifting Miles

Just looking at the option of transffering or gifting miles and have noticed that when you start the process by selecting the number of miles it gives a "Total cost" against the miles. Is this what you are charged to perform the switch or the value of the miles?What does it really cost (£15?)

Exactly what the web site tells you for the number of miles selected, e.g. £15 for 1,000 miles ...

On gifting miles, there's a flat charge of £15 on top of the £15 per 1,000 miles, transfer is a bit cheaper in terms of unit cost (£7.50 per 1k if I remember rightly) but you still get hit with the £15 charge, which makes it a bit uneconomical.

If its less than 10k, and you have an appropriate card, I believe you can buy Amex MR at £15 per 1k, but without the £15 transaction fee and you should (YMMV) be able to transfer them to someone else's FC account at 1MR:1FCmile. Even better if they have their own Amex!
