It could work if you make the reservation under your name and have your family member listed as additional guest with a comment saying he/she will be checking in early. The free night is not tied to the credit card where you have to use the CC card to get the 2nd night free and the room can tech be charged to your family members card (you could have missed your flight
The front desk doesn't really see/care that you are getting the 2nd night free because of the card and you are not required to present your CC credit card anyway.
ETA: You don't tech need to fax an authorization form either-you can make the reservation using any credit card and any card (family members) can be presented at check in. The free night is automatically applied for just being a cardholder-there is no requirement to use that card for the stay.
