It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure retail gift cards and membership gift certificates can be activated without needing any of the parent email info, as long as the parent email was activated and verified the account creation before the email was lost.

However, I think it would be better to just start a new account where the parent email isn't lost. The old membership account would keep the extra storage slots and a lot of the stuff could just be traded over to the new account.
