Will it work if I just walk in and buy a $300 gift card?

My $300 luxury credit expires in a few days.

Not sure if I can make it to a hotel chain.

Are there any data points that triggered a purchase online?

Any tips... thanks

So I read a Flyertalk thread where others did gift cards and it worked.

I did it myself last week and the credit posted today.

So yes gift cards from Marriot.com do trigger the $300 credit

Thank you, good to know .

NP. It was hidden in a 41 page there and there was no mention of it here at all which I found interesting. Hopefully helps the next person out who has the same question.

Shows it posted on the 27th, but only showed up this morning. In any case... happy to help
