Marriott has a very long tradition of this sort of nonsense. It's why even after years and years of Plat status, I was still several hundred thousand points shy of legacy LTPP. I've spent years of my life in Residence Inn and TPS properties, and only had half points to show for it. Now they've done it to Element as well, which is indeed the SPG equivalent of TPS in my estimation. I suppose they chose to do this so as to equal the playing field between the legacy TPS properties and the incoming Element properties. Of course what they should've done was to move in precisely the opposite direction, and I consider this to be one of the greatest fails of the integration from a decision-making perspective.
