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

Thanks for the response. I just booked it with my wife's name (primary cardholder) and added my marriott #. The stay did show up on my marriott account and i was able to request NUA. Are you saying Marriott will claw that back eventually? And secondly, if I use my name (not a cardholder) on the FHR booking, Amex won't flag that and not trigger the $300 and the $100?
