IMO, by what you've stated and assuming that you made the reservation on Marriott.com logged in so it records your MR#and per Marriott T&Cs cited below you qualify for both points and stay credits (but what do I know as I've only carried the designation Esq since 1985).
7.Point or elite night credit accrual is limited to individual travel and the room must be paid for individually by the Member or direct billed to the party responsible for paying the bill. If the room is master-billed, the charges are not eligible for Points or elite night credits.
If the Member attends a convention or group meeting and individually pays the hotel directly for the room, he/she will be eligible to receive Points and elite night credits for the stay. However, contract rooms, rooms reserved by corporations on an ongoing basis and master-billed rooms are not eligible to earn points or elite night credit. Military rates at certain overseas locations are subject to local restrictions and may be ineligible for points or elite night credit.

In later communications with RCS was told it was a "special rate" and I should have been told that at checkin. I find that strange since the ABA shows specials for the RCs, including double points, etc.
