Does he get the travel funds or do I? Points and credit card are two very different things in this scenario. When you buy a ticket using points for yourself or anyone else, if cancelled the points just go right back into your Rapid Rewards account. (And points never expire.) If you buy a ticket for yourself or anyone else using a credit card, if cancelled the amount paid becomes Travel Funds usable only by the passenger named on the ticket. (Also note that Travel Funds expire one year from the date of purchase, and that all travel must be completed by then.)
