I'm 100 points short of a 1000 point threshold in my wife's account to transfer to mine. Rather than waste the $12.50 to buy the extra 1k points, I was hoping to top off her account. But the Visa is in my name and points to my account. She made purchases through Marriott Rewards mall but a month has passed and they haven't posted -- and I think its supposed to take 2-3 months total.

So I know I can buy points -- which I'm doing anyway -- so I'm trying to find a way to save myself $12.50 for that last thousand points. Seems like any alternate solution is too slow or too expensive. Does anyone have any other thoughts?
