I can't imagine it is for Hilton or Marriott, anyway. They KNEW I was going to be at the hotel for 34 days when I checked in, and they didn't mention that little detail that I would get 1K points instead of 90K.

Oh, and I did email them back to attempt to escalate it. We'll see where that goes. Maybe nowhere, but it's worth a shot.
No chance to escalate it I am afraid, as that is the rule. The hotel gets incented for enrolling you, and it's flagged in the system as such, you pay for it in reduced points.
