Booking room for mom and sister under my Gold status and club level upgrade
Hi,
I have a few club level upgrade from my credit card. Is it possible to reserve a room under my name and have them check in under me so they can use the certificate? They do not reside in same address, but same last name. I can prepay the room if needed
Thanks

A semi-regularly asked question. There are at least four threads. This is the most recent.

My reply still stands, although CJKatl's post is more thoughtful.

OP, it's simple: Call Marriott and tell them this is what you want to do. If they say it's fine, it's fine. If you think there is any chance this is acceptable, you should have no qualms about calling Marriott. If you think Marriott would say this is unacceptable, then moving forward is dishonest and unethical. Again, it's pretty simple. We all know you won't call Marriott because you already know what you want to do is wrong.
Once, very late at night, I was stuck at a red light. There were absolutely no other cars around. It is a very long light. (Those in ATL, it was on E Rock Springs in front of Morningside Elementary.) So what could it hurt to run the light? Of course, there was a police car parked out of view, and of course I got pulled over. After the ticket, the points on my license and the increased insurance rates, it cost me over $1k. It's impossible to undo a bad decision.
Is it likely you will get caught and your girlfriend lose her Marriott Rewards account? No. Are you foolish enough to take the chance just for a few measly benefits?
