eVouchers are transferable, but FTVs are not - they have to be used by the original passenger. There is a high chance you will get an eVoucher, so long as it's not too complicated, but you can't guarantee it. Booking via BA.com, not using discounts or strange payment methods would be the best bet for an eVoucher, but there's always a risk of an FTV. Avios are always FTVs but you can get a refund on this back to the original BAEC member.
