In this case, I'll have to [b]make the reservation under my wife's marriott account and hope I can somehow transfer it to my account as I have platinum[\b]. Since there is no way I hit 500 Marriott ONLY nights by year end, and the new LT programs don't care about LT points, I guess this isn't too big of a deal to not add to my LT points balance.
What is the goal here? A better upgrade, credit for stay to your account, or something else?
You may find just contacting MPG or the property to add your name to the rez and letting them know you are Plat will get them to bump the rez. Also, at check in you might be able to get them to change the account number to your's so it posts to your account (very iffy). I suspect there will be a lot of gotcha's in the upcoming weeks and some will be bad.
