When you book in advance with points you don’t have yet on Marriott, do you need to do anything once you earn them? Or do they get deducted as soon as you reach the needed amount?

They’ll be automatically deducted like a week before your trip

Correct. Worst case is you get a call 5 to 7 days out. They do not automatically cancel reservations for lack of points
