Had them email me my password and it was identical to my password, but all in upper case.

Just a heads up for rest of you.
That seems rather bizarre. Any chance you have been taken in by phishing or other type of scam?

I would browse securely and directly to the Marriott site and change my password if I were in your shoes. Also, keep an eye on account activity, balances and the like.

Good luck.
