I'm aware of the Marriott points rules, but wondering if anyone has a suggestion to get around them with my final goal in mind?

Could I make the reservation, under my name, with my points #, and put 2 guests on the reservation and then just have her check in for the both of us even though I will never be there? Do they allow that?

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
