15% off VS Miles in May

[markis10]

Dear Mark,

Dreaming of your next reward? You can get there faster if you Buy Miles - and throughout May we'll give you 15% off when you do! The same great discount applies if you top up with Gift Miles too.

Once you have the miles you need, you can turn them into something truly exciting: a reduced fare with Miles Plus Money, an indulgent cabin upgrade, or a fabulous reward flight. So why wait? Buy Miles in May - and take off sooner.

Works out to to be just under 400 pounds for 30000 miles.

Can someone please explain what's the difference between "Gift" and "Transfer"? Both seem to charge an amount of money for it to send to someone.
