My wife is the primary cardholder of Amex Biz Plat. I dont have an authorized user. However, I do have an Amex biz gold card. My wife doesn't have Marriott status, but I'm a Platinum elite.
When booking a FHR hotel to trigger the $300 statement credit, if I put HER name as the primary contact and MY marriott number, will that trigger the $300 credit and $100 hotel credit? And since the marriott is under my membership, I can use my NUA for a suite upgrade request, right?

I hope that makes sense - just want to clarify before booking. Thanks!
This has been answered before in this thread, but I'll answer again.

Whichever card pays for and gets charged for the hotel pre-payment will get the credit. So yes.

However, if her name is the primary contact, Marriott will not accept your Bonvoy number.

So the correct way to do this is to put your name and Bonvoy number in the reservation and pay with her card.
