I have done that several times for my wife. I don't mention that I submitted the application (without her knowledge in most cases), I will manage the account, and it's my income that will pay the bill each month. She doesn't know what is going on and couldn't answer any of their questions (Them: "Can we move $10,000 of your $29,000 credit line from the Freedom card to the Sapphire?" Her: "I have a $29,000 credit line?" Me [in my head]: "I'd better not tell her that she has six figures of credit available"), but she enjoys free flights and hotel rooms so she just tells them to talk to me. Only once have they insisted that she do the talking, so I listened and told her what to say.
