I took the liberty of contacting Marriott about this and this was NOT an intentional loophole.

I am sure the loophole will close soon
I hope too... and I hope marriott will stop (and Hilton should too) the credit card nights, match and other stuffs. Time to bring back more benefits to the real customers, those who sleep 100s of nights a year in their hotel.
