Can I Book A Hotel For Someone Else With My Points?
Can I use my hotel points to book a room in someone else’s name even though I won’t be there?
It is for a relative’s birthday present.
I just want to make sure this is legal?
My second question is if I use my elite status on the reservation, will they get the perks?
I do have points and elite status for pretty much all chains (Hilton, IHG…)

I make the reservation in my name and then I list them as an extra guest and call the property to tell them they will be checking in before me because “my flight arrives in the evening”.
Never had an issue with it.

If you’re globalist with Hyatt, you can book a Guest of Honor stay using your points and they will get Globalist perks.

Yes it is fine.
I did this for my Mother-In-Law just the other week.
Just make the booking in your name and call the hotel to add them as a guest and say they are checking in before you.
They should get the elite status benefits since it is under your name and account.
