It depends on definition of "normal" here. Marriott is breaking T&C and violating their offer here by stripping us of 1000 points. So it is not normal in a sense of compliance with regulations. But it is what they do now: I have not seen a single case reported that someone got 6000 points for BRG after the merger.

After going several rounds with escalations and filing a complaint with BBB I have an impression that the only way to force them honor their offer would be a legal action. If you live in US, you may consider small claims court.
