Gifting Premium to another user

It would be nice to be able to gift Premium to another user. Currently either the gifter needs the password of the giftee, or the giftee must be given the full credit card details. Neither solution feels good. I imagine something like this:
- The gifter pays for x months of Premium for another user. This triggers authentication checks, etc.
- The giftee gets some number of days to claim this gift.
- If not claimed, the money is returned.
For security, anti-spam and other reasons, this would only be possible with a bidirectional Friend connection of some sort.

Hi Mark Kaufmann. Your comment seems to have disappeared? But yes, https://www.lingq.com/en/gift-language-lovers/ is exactly what I was looking for. I could not find it while being logged in though, so maybe it should have a link from the Billing page? When asking your Support about this feature, I got the reply that it did not exist, and that I either had to get their password or give them my credit card info (which would not have worked anyway as I need to verify each transaction with my mobile).
And of course, thank you for providing that link so quickly!

Daniel Brahneborg To clear the confusion here. Yes, we do have Gift Certificate page where you can get the gift coupon. However, in your email you didn't mention that you want to purchase membership as Gift, you asked me if you can purchase Premium on other account with a different credit card. It sounded like you already have access to that new account and I never suggested you to share your CC details.

Zoran Simicic True, I could perhaps have expressed myself more clearly in the first email.
