Please let me know if anyone has any experience doing this.

Thanks
See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...ly-friend.html for similar discussion.

Status should not be conferred however, a call to the Plat Desk may provide some options for paying for an upgraded room with points maybe. If they have not already paid for the room (TA or pre-paid charged) your credit should appear on their bill.

Also a call to the property letting them know it's a honeymoon trip may get them some nice property perks.
