Book it in your name with them as an additional guest.

Maybe, but you're much more likely with SPG Plat. Are you paying or using points?

He can transfer the points to you and you can book it.

i am not traveling with them.
does the reservation have to be made in the cardmember's name? or can the cardmember be an additional guest? (does having the same last name help?)

You don't need to be, additional guests get all the benefits of the main guest and can check-in and out without the main guest.
