Back and forth with CS has rendered no results so far

The Research “Take Over” team escalated this issue and determined that the rate that I booked was eligible so they’ve credited the stay. However I’m also having the same issue for another stay in Mendoza so I’m currently chasing that one down... Marriott is being such a pain for a “customer friendly” company.
I get that things change but I’ve never had a bad experience with Starwood and it was quite easy to get my stays credited with folios sent to them versus the current status quo of discrediting the customer to save pennies on the dollar.
