You can make a reservation for reward travel using points at Southwest.com? by selecting "points" as your payment option. Can I book travel with points for Passengers other than myself? Yes. If you're the Rapid Rewards Member and will be using your points, you'll need to make the reservation for the person traveling.

Yes, you can absolutely use your Southwest Rapid Rewards points to book a flight for someone else. Southwest has one of the most flexible redemption policies in the airline industry, allowing you to use your points for any individual, regardless of their relationship to you. To do this, you simply log into your account, search for a flight using the "Points" toggle, and then enter the traveler’s legal name and information during the "Who's Flying?" step of the checkout process. The points will be deducted from your balance, but the ticket will be issued in their name. This is particularly useful for families or friends who don't have enough points for a full trip. It is important to remember that while the "fare" is covered by points, you will still be responsible for paying the mandatory government taxes and fees (starting at $5.60 one-way for domestic flights) using a credit card. Additionally, because Southwest does not charge change or cancellation fees, if the person for whom you booked the flight needs to cancel, the points will be returned to your account, though the taxes/fees may be held as travel funds for the passenger.
