also anytime i call a hotel directly almost anytime to book a room, they almost always 99.0% of the time try to transfer me to a central booking person, and i tell them just pretend like i just walked in and try to help me, they are mostly never willing to help me.
i think the op should get his or her 90,000 points plus a whole lot more points plus the 100 dollars, they should receive enough points for a 1 night stay at any marriott, in the system....
also ,it is not so bad to sleep in the car, i do it all of the time, heheheh, the bad part is one's safety in the car, but the op should receive about 200,000 points or so, they would charge one if they did not show up,
