There are a few options:
  1. Order the award (using her points) but with your name on the award reservation and cert. You can't do that online, but you can call MR and they will order the award from her account but in your name.
  2. AFAIK, Marriott still allows more than 100K points to be transferred from one account to another when ordering an award. For example, if you have 100K in your account and she has 200K in hers. If you wanted to order a 300K TP award from your account, you can pull the 200K from her account into yours when the award it being ordered.
  3. This may not always work for all the PPE benefits, but at check-in, give them your MR# and show them your PPE status. They might be willing to check for upgrades. If they offer the Plat check-in amenity, I'd suggest going for the F&B credit or whatever is offered during that stay (i.e. NOT the amenity points) as Marriott's system may not recognize you as the primary person and not process those points.
