The way I read your post, you need these points, even if you get the credit card points, yes? And you've already made the award reservation?
The points from the stay should post by the 16th, without a problem. Usually, my points post two days after checkout, meaning you'd have your points by the end of the 13th. I'm not 100% sure about the bonus, but if your bonuses have been posting as you go (rather than having to be manually adjusted later), then it should post with the room.
The problem you'll have isn't with the points posting by the 16th, though. If you've already made the reservation, I'd be worried that the system will try to sweep the points out of your account about a week before your stay - at that time, you won't have enough. I don't know what happens when you don't have the points at that time.

So I don't have until the 15th or so to come up with the points? My first night in the stay is March 16th. I am staying at a Courtyard and would get the 5K bonus for my second night stay. Guess I will have to call Marriott and see what they can tell me. I was hoping to not have to buy the 6K points. Oh well. Not a big deal. Just $72 for the points.
