You might find it easier to combine via SPG although that requires both SPG accounts to share the same address for 30 days.

However Travel Packages don't require an immediate hotel reservation - you just get a reward certificate.

If you're trying to grab all of your father's points, just do a dummy rez to bring your balance down to a point where you need all of his points for the travel package.
