Is this a partner award we're talking about?
There's now a longstanding aa.com bug that for some partner awards when you try to purchase it it just goes in circles back to the payment page. You have to put it on hold then call AA to ticket.
Regardless it's never a problem to use your miles to book a ticket for someone else, so whatever the issue is it most likely has nothing to do with that.
