Does the card holder have to fly using a 241?

Does the card holder have to fly? My girlfriend has a supplementary credit card on my account and could book the flights using her card, so could she use the 241 instead of me? I know the terms and conditions say i need to fly but i wondered if using the online booking system would let me do it?
Apologies if this has come up time and time before but im using my phone and its a bit tricky to search with.

TIA

It insisted the person named on the voucher be the one flying. I found that out by accident when I had mistakenly selected two other people in my household account instead of the wife and myself.

As far as I know, you can only use a voucher for two people other than yourself if you happen to have two vouchers and redeem them at the same time for a total of 4 pax. And you still have to be one of the four.

I know it's not in the rules but it does seem to work, I have read other people have done this. Did yours reject during the booking process?
