Ok. I need some help here. I've tried multiple times and it won't work. I want to book a flight for my friend using my points. I know it's allowed and can be done but it keeps giving me an error message saying the name doesn't match the rr account?!! I put in his name and birthday and my rr account number and it just won't work. How else am i suppose to book for someone else using my points? Thanks for any help resolving this issue.
Solved! Go to Solution.

So when you are on the booking page make sure you enter your friends name, gender, birthday also you need to remove your RR number if your friends has a RR number you can enter it if they don’t delete yours from the info section and it should work
this issue is your RR number is still in the field

1) Log in to your RR account
2) Start the process of buying a flight - indicting you want to use points (by default it will assume it will be your points
3) Pick the flight (s) you want to book
4) Continue and input the other person's name birth date, sex, etc.
5) Input a valid payment method for government fees
6) Input the other person's RR number if you have it
Hit buy

I swear people here don't read. They don't have an rr, I do have an rr and I'm trying to use my rr points to pay for it. I've done all that and it will not let me use my points.

We are just trying to help you…
so again
1. log in to your account
2. select flight that you want for your friend
3. enter their info if they don’t have a RR number LEAVE IT BLANK remove your number this won’t affect the booking since your logged in
4. pay taxes
5. hit book
If they don’t have a RR number just remove your number and leave the field blank
