Fly2W is right. I do it several times a year and no problem for kids and other family members. As Fly2W said be sure to add th other person's name to the reservation and there is no problem.

I concur. It has never been a problem. The key is to book in your name and add family member as additional guest on the reservation.
Even better is to make room reservations for paying relatives and collect PC points on your account.

It is also "officially" possible. I have once booked award rooms for friends over the phone with PC. I have also reserved rooms online and have put in the notes the names of the persons actually staying in the room. One hotel asked me whether the guests staying in the room would have status on their own (they did not) - if yes, they would have honored all benefits according to their status.
