And one thing I really hate about how Marriott fixes what they see as "errors", they leave no "paper" trail. Your account will show the "fixed" amount as originally being added to your account and you'll never see a removal entry. They'll just be gone. If you don't keep track yourself, you'd never know they ever did anything.
