Which was addressed in point
#2 per my post already before you replied. I disclosed that the other properties earned at 10/5/2.5 points per dollar(depending on the property).

It seems that many folks replying are treating spend under an event contract as if it is part of a different program, but it is not. Most folks who book events ALSO stay at Marriott properties. All points earned are mingled in the overall MR program.
True, points are merged for lifetime qualification purposes (in legacy MR - come 2019 it will just be elite lifetime nights + years at a given status and points will be irrelevant) and for redemption. Whether or not meeting spend (earned on the meeting directly or the guest room spend) will be counted equally on the $20,000 or at all remains to be seen.
