No that's when you "call" and asked to book an award reservation. You can tell them, it is not for me, it is for my good friend, John Smith. I have booked award reservations for others with Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt. You can't do it online, you have to call. If you want to do it online, there is a way by adding the person as a 2nd guest in the room with you, but that doesn't always work. On check in the hotel could ask for the primary guest to show ID.. then you are kind of screwed.
