Can I book a ticket for someone else with my MileagePlus miles?
Yes, you may request to have a MileagePlus award ticket issued in someone else’s name.

FWIW
Very different questions!

You absolutely can book award tickets for someone else out of your account with your miles, but you definitely can't accrue miles into your account for a flight that someone else takes.
