Have you had issues booking a Marriott reward stay for someone other than your immediate family? Do you just note them as guests?

No, just use the in app chat feature the day before check in, tell them to add their name, screenshot and youre done

This isn’t technically allowed if you aren’t also staying fyi

US- no issues. International- haven’t tried

Update - I called Marriott and they allowed me to gift the stay to a family member. Can't do it in the app but they have an override code they can use

Call the service line the next day and ask them to add your family member as a guest to the room. Just tell them you’ll be arriving separately if they ask.

So, the big thing with booking on points for someone else is they do need ID and a card for incidentals. There are some hotels that won't ask for a credit card, but every hotel should, especially if you're not there to check them in. It helps prevent fraud.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
