You log into your account and then list your wife as the passenger. It will then ask you for your password to get the credit applied . It is pretty simply. I have used my sons credit to pay for my flight .

What happens if you do not have enough points for a flight? Can you pay the difference in cash? I know you can use points + cash for vacation packages but not sure about airfare.

I don't think you can just pay the difference in cash. You can buy points to top off an account, but you're paying a premium to do so (~2x their value in some cases).

That's exactly the experience I had over the weekend. I'm 2000 points shy of what I needed for a particular itinerary and a link came up directing me to buy points.
