Question Can I have 19,000 transferred Avios in my account AND buy my own 24,000 Avios
I have read the terms and conditions for buying and transferring Avios but they seem a bit ambiguous

If my brother transfers 19,000 Avios to my account, can I ALSO purchase the maximum 24,000 Avios for my account as well?

Likewise, if my brother purchases 24,000 Avios direct to my account using 'purchase Avios for someone else', can I also purchase the 24,000 Avios for my account?

Any info clarifying transferring/buying/buying for someone else, would be useful.

IIRC 24,000 is the limit whether they are bought or transferred.....unless it has changed.
You do know the transfer fees are pretty high?

Have you considered a Household Account (HHA) for miles sharing. It may not suit your situation but will eliminate the need to transfer miles and the costs associated with that method.

The answer to your question is yes. I did it last week.
