Making up the shortfall of points for an award
I want to book an award for a 4 night stay which according the web site will cost 70k points. I will have 63k points in my account by the end of this week and do not expect any more points before my award stay.
How can I make up the difference?
Are any discounts in points level given to silver members/ can I buy points, if yes at what cost/ what is the transfer ratio from Amex to Marriott?
Thanks in advance.

You can buy up to 10% of the points for any award. It's buried in the T&C of awards on the web page. You have to call and request a form to fill out and return, but it's relatively inexpensive.
