Marriot Hotel Guest Booking

[MANAV28]

Hi,

Can i do Guest booking using my Marriot points?
Will this be counted under Night stayed for silver/Gold status?

You don't get any elite benefits when you book it for someone else.

The option to change name is disabled for me for points booking. Not sure how to do it.

you have to call Marriott and inform them it's a gift reservation and they'll ask you for the guest's details

You can book a gifted reservation using your points. The night stayed will be added to your status. However, the guest will not get any status benefits.

You don't earn elite night credits or points when you book for someone else. It's clearly mentioned in the terms and conditions. To earn elite night credits, you must personally stay in the room and pay for it, although I'm not sure how strictly the latter is enforced.

I had done a gifted reservation and received elite night credits.

Must have been an exception. You don't get any elite benefits otherwise when you book for someone else. Refer to section 3.2 in the terms and conditions.

"For Gifted Award Redemption Stays, the Member (as the gifter) and the recipient will not earn any Points/Miles, Elite Night Credit, Qualifying Nights, or Qualifying Stays in connection with such Gifted Award Redemption Stays. In addition, the recipient on the Gifted Award Redemption Stay will not receive any Elite tier benefits associated with their own Account or the Member’s Account."
