But my friend was not able to make the transfer (because his accounts was just combined or something), so he recommond a guy that willing to do the favor(not for free, of course). Then I got 10k pointed transferred to my account and made the reservation. Sad thing happened, I got email from marriott loyalty team claiming that there is a suspicious points sharing activity about my account, and cancelled the transfer, meanwhile my reservation was also cancelled.
