Yes, it has to be book from their account.

Note if you cancel, you keep the funds.

BTW, tell you friend it is a bad idea to lend out their MP account and password. To many horrid stories of relationships turn bad and negative consequences.

A word of caution, this FFC is locked to the travelers name while the travelbank could have been used for anyone. But if close to expiration this makes sense.
