Can you buy a premium membership as a gift for someone else?

Incorrect, it is totally possible to gift premium memberships.  It's just a difficult, non-automated process that requires out of the norm processing for my team.  If you want it done, file a case and ask for it.

The easy way to do that is to send them the cash.  Remember that a Premium membership is not a one-time purchase; it's an ongoing commitment.  There's no way to put your credit card info on their account without their knowledge.  Since the recurring annual fee is paid out of their account, then, that means that you'd be sharing your credit info, which is not a good idea.  It's a lot cleaner to just say, "Here.  I'll pay for your membership this year," and hand them the money.   If you want to do it again next year, repeat the exercise.  Otherwise, payment becomes their responsibility unless they make the choice to drop it.

Edit:   I missed the earlier thread that Rowan quoted.  Thanks!
