Unfortunately no availability with points on our dates, otherwise I would have chosen a points redemption for sure.

It does sound like Marriott needs to clarify the deposit requirements for this hotel. But, I wouldn't expect them to be able to fix your Gmail. That's between you and Google.
Gmail has 1 billion users (that was beginning 2016, probably more by now). I would expect that a multi-national company tests how their mails are being treated by the major e-mail clients. I have no special settings in my Gmail account, this is not a plugin, this is just basic Gmail functionality. I cannot alter this behavior. It would have been good if Gmail included some 'This is not a phishing mail' functionality but they didn't.

UPDATE: There's an option to show the original mail as plain text. There I see the link but if I copy/paste the link it still does not work, I get a timeout on loading the page...
