Hi,
I was looking to sty in a Marriott 7* for 2 nights. Unfortunately it is not part of the 33% fallsavers discount. I am only allowed buy 10% but that still leaves me 5,000 points short. I have no amex points etc. Is there anyway that I can make up the remainder.

Thanks in advance

Your reward requires 65K points. Doing the math tells me that you have 54K. I suggest you call Marriott & just try to buy all 11K--hoping that the rep ignores or is unaware of the 10% rule. Failing that, get permission to go negative. It helps if you can point to an upcoming money-paid reservation.
