I will do the points transfer thing as a last resort but I'd prefer not to..
No you cannot use points from one account and tier status from another account.
You may try to tell the front desk at check in what your status is, but it is unlikely to have anything to do with what benefits you receive on your stay.
If it does help at the front desk, it's only a gesture of being courtesy from the hotel.
Also, you will not receive stay / night credit (at least not that I am aware of); because your MR account # will not be placed on the reservation.
