Booking Rapids Rewards Flight For Family Members

I've been a RR member a long time and I thought in the past I was able to use my miles to book flights for my wife when we go on vacation.  Is that no longer an option?

@seanlongbeach you are definitely able to use your rewards to book travel for others. Some folks here on the forums have been thrown off when the fields pre-populate but you can definitely, positively use your points for others.

Here is the sequence to follow on the web:

Flight > Book a Flight > [Enter your flight parameters] click "Search" > Click "Points" in the upper right corner & keep clicking until you get to the "Who's flying?" screen. Enter your wife's information and keep going.

Why do you ask? Have you had a problem? Southwest allows you to use your RR points to buy a ticket for any person you want.

Are you resolved @seanlongbeach

 

One other issue could be that the form populates with your info by default, and/or your browser may remember your into - go ahead and type over it with your wife's name and information if that may be what's happening.
