Might even make sense to give someone a "free" vacation so you only lose the points and don't incur the fees. Or find someone locally to check you in either to use the room or to hold it for you for late arrival (especially if you will miss the first day of a longer stay) - could be worth paying someone a small amount for that vs. the fees you would be charged by the hotel. It would all hinge on the ability to add the name to the reservation and the property allowing that person to check in.
