@kimmyxp99 The option doesn't exist in the EA App. It is still enabled in Origin, but you'd both need to be using Origin, which means using a Mac to sign in and send/accept the gift.

If you want to gift your friend and don't have a Mac available, you could instead purchase a third-party code. But make sure it's from an authorized vendor so the code doesn't get cancelled after the fact, a significant risk with unauthorized sellers.

Or you could login to your friend's account and use your payment information.
