Booking a stay for someone else?

I'm trying to book a room using HHonors points for a relative. I can change the reservation address to theirs but I don't see any way to change it from my name.

What should I do? Give my name and address and add them as 2nd guest? Give their name and address and add them as 2nd guest? Or is there a different process for booking for someone not myself?

I'm assuming there's no rule that says I must be the guest when using points, or is there? I can possibly accompany them for checkin (or go and do checkin myself then give them the key) but that's an inconvenience I'd prefer to avoid.

Thanks for any advice!
