Well, if you are short points, but they are coming in within a week, you can ask them to hold a reservation pending the points arriving in your account. You may want to consider buying your points depending on what the room rate would cost...consider 1000 points is $35, you are looking at spending about $175. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that can get you points in the next few days, but then again it's late, so if I come up with something I'll let you know.
