Red face Don't Have Enough Miles: Can I Pay The Difference In Cash?

Hi everyone! This is my first post. Hoping someone could help me with this, I've never used miles before!

Basically, I want to buy a single-trip ticket and it's going to cost me 65'000 points. My questions:

1 - My mother has accumulated about 50'000 points, will she be able to transfer her Skywards points to me?

2 - Even if it's possible for her to transfer her miles to me, I will still be 15'000 miles short. Can I pay this difference in cash?

Thank you for your help.

No, but your mother can buy the extra miles needed (assuming she hasn't used her annual allowance of 25,000).

She should not transfer the miles to you however, but should just buy the award ticket herself in your name.

Thank you very much for helping me clarify this ft101. I'll purchase the remaining miles that I need.
