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!

have you considered calling central reservations and have them change the name on the reservation? or you can just simply ask them to add them to the reservation. voila!
