Doesn't sound like an honest mistake. Sounds like they wanted to dump reservations and not pay compensation.
The guest is platinum - if a hotel was silly enough to purposely cancel a ressie to avoid "walking them" I highly doubt they were foolish enough to pick the guest who at the top of the food chain - but it's possible they were that foolish, I'd recommend the OP contact guest services to have them review the transaction
