Your friend can make a res. or get a paper cert. in your name.
OR if U have a res. already, give the friend your res. info & ask him to order a Point Transfer Form. On the Website it says 'spouse,' but when U call MR, they say 'anybody.'
Note that the friend can transfer in only the exact # of points of which UR short for that res., rounded to the nearest higher thousand. So U need to either extend your res. to 8 nights or make another (dummy) res. at another hotel to get the points into your acct., then a few days later, cancel & reclaim points into your acct. as desired.
