You are the ideal sucker for big corporate thinking they can do anything and you have nothing to protest about. Wrong, many big corporate decisions, on pensions, and other things, have been rulled down by the courts. Let it go through the process. Now we need a big lawfirm to take this case on for a class action lawsuit!
I am not a lawyer so can't comment on the validity of your perspective, but my immediate thought was "wow--they are just points". I realize that the points have some material value, but you do have some options before they are devalued, e.g. cashing them in now. Are those options ideal?---probably not, but atleast we got about 3 months notice about the changes in the rules. Make some plans--tkave a well deserved vacation on Marriott. I assume that Marriott has done this sort of thing before, e.g. changed the redmption values or bumped category 6 hotels up to category 7 hotels, etc. You may, understandably, not be happy about the change , but the change is likely not without precedent.
