T&C states that taxes are excluded. Nowhere have I read that service charges are excluded as well:
Charges that do not qualify for Points include taxes applied to the room rate, purchase of Marriott gift certificates or gift cards, purchase of The Ritz-Carlton gift certificates or gift cards, charges for third party-provided goods and services at participating Marriott brand hotels or Ritz-Carlton hotels, and catering or banquet functions charged to the guest room account.
I had a 10% service charge on this stay and the number of points I received differ 5% so it's somewhere in the middle and is not close to either the amount with or without service charge.
