Meaning..can i make a reservation with my points and my CC Visa card for a friend and put their name in the reservation
Anyone done this?
There is a way to do it. It is a situation of YMMV, but booking the room in the name of the credit card holder and then having an additional guest listed (in the comments section later if need be) has worked in conjunction with a faxed credit card charge authorization for the room nights.
It wouldn't have been worth the hassle for us but the circumstances were a confluence of disrupted travel plans.
