Reservation/Points Question
Hello FT,
I tried to search through the forum before asking this, but I was not able to find any solid answer so I thought I would throw it out there. Do any of you know if it is possible to book a reservation now with a credit card and then switch the form of payments to points/e-certs at a later date? The reason I am asking is because I have enough points to book 2 nights now, but I am coming up on my Marriott CC anniversary so I will get another e-cert that I want to use for the 3rd night. The three nights are bookable with points right now. Should I just book the two? Book points and cash for 3 and then can I change that later? Book all three w/ no points? Any insight would be great, thanks!

You are not required to have the full amount of points/certs to make a points booking. Book the 3 nights, then call to have them attach the cert to the booking for the 3rd night.
