When I signed up I selected points, but when I reserved the room via my corporate travel site it must have attached my United account?
Anyway long story short I guess taking airline miles invalidates the offer. Any way to belatedly correct that or am I hosed?
It doesn't matter if your reservation list your United account number. What matters is how your Marriott account is set up . If you are set up for points you will be fine.
If your account was showing you the megabonus, it is likely your account is set up for points correctly. If you have miles selected it does not give you the option to sign up for the promotion when you are logged into your MR account and at the promotions page.
If you had it (your account) set up wrong, you should call MR asap. They may change it for you as long as the stay has not posted yet.
You really need to check your preference for earning on your Marriott account.
