What? I just got off the phone with Marriott and they told me that it WAS eligible to earn points. To be sure we're talking about the same thing here, these are the "customizable" cash & point redemptions not the older SPG type ones. As an example, I've setup reservation with 2 nights on points (50k/nt) and 3rd night paid full amount that was listed for room rate that night. That to me is different than the "Cash and Points" option listed on the Marriott page where a Cat 6 (same as where I'm looking) is normally 50k "standard" point redemption but with this chart is 27.5k points & $225. I know the cash portion of these rates are not eligible for points earning:

Hopefully that's clear enough.
