Marriott Bonvoy allows you to use your Marriott Bonvoy points to book a room for someone else. This is called a Gifted Award Reservation. You must call Marriott to make a Gifted Award Reservation.

However, Marriott Bonvoy does not allow you to use a Free Night Award certificate to book a room that you will not occupy yourself.
