Pooling point
Hi, I am new to this forum and apologize if this is the incorrect place to ask this question. I am trying to reserve a room at the Marriott and they tell me I don’t have enough points and need to purchase them. At the same time I can not purchase more than 10% of the entire trip. Is there another way to purchase points or any other ideas to do this?
Much appreciated in advance

Welcome !
Hello and Welcome to FT,
Does your spouse have a Marriott Rewards acct.? You can transfer points from their acct to yours.Do you have a Marriott Visa? You can get promos that often give you points for signing up.....I received 15,000 points and a free night stay. Not sure what offers are out now. Plus your Visa purchases add points as well. Good Luck, Deb-Indiana

Often, they will let you puchase up to 20% of the points you need, if you ask nicely.

I also believe you can transfer in points from Diner's Club.
