I have 6 digit Velocity Points but I am in the process of saving up Status Credits to maintain my membership therefore I don't want to redeem points for myself, but I still need to use up those points somehow.

Agree as per Happy above, however whenever I've done this (for the same reason, maintaining SP), I've contacted the velocity angels and they've linked the separate bookings to seat the parties together.

Simple to do and within velocity rules. Just click the box that says 'I'm booking on behalf of someone else' during the process.

It can be for anyone; when you book with points there's a little box as you fill in details that you check to say 'I'm booking on behalf of someone else'. It then allows you to book for anyone you like.

Yeah, I have seen that there but was just wondering if anyone knows if its in the T's&C's somewhere that it can only be done for family. I have been through and didnt see anything but was just wondering.
