Is it okay if I use my IHG points to book a hotel room for someone else? I will not be checking in and the other person is not related to me.

70% of the nights I book are for someone else. Just make the reservation then call the hotel and let them know who will be checking in so they can put it in the record. They will have to throw down a credit card for security purposes, but that's about it. very simple.

I too book most of my stays from someone elses account. I just add the name of who will actually be there (usually me) as the additional guest on the reservation, and in the special instructions/requests box I tell them who will be checking in. Have always done so online and have never had a problem yet.
