Frankly I'd be a bit careful about this as it could be viewed as violating WOH rules. Of course if it's a spouse account etc., I wouldn't expect a problem, but some random "friend" with a different last name and address could look suspicious. There are also annual limits on point transfers as well as purchases that could create difficulties for your account or that of the friend.
