My wife and I are planning an early 2013 trip to India. We're definitely going to Delhi and Agra and a TBD city. We have plenty of Marriott and Priority Club points but neither of these chains have a large presence in Delhi or Agra.

The Oberoi hotels look amazing but they are a bit out of budget. Besides getting a Chase Saphire Card or something similar and using the points for gift cards are there any better ways to get into an Oberoi, Leela, or Taj hotel using points/ miles?
