Are they allowed to do that?
That is normal. Even for people who booked and paid with points, the reservation will now show 85K pts.

There was was a lot of discussion as to whether or not Marriott would honour PA rates for hotels whose category increased. I believe they said yes, but who knows. You will have to call in when you want to apply your points.
