While it is unfortunate the hotel oversold rooms regardless of the reason as a titanium member you shouldn't be one of the guests inconvenienced by a walk. Good Luck.

P.S. When traveling with my family, my risk tolerance is different. While what I stated above is %100 correct, there is still a risk you could get walked anyway. While it isn't right, if you can proactively find another accomodation on your own that is acceptable, you may want to negotiate with the property to still compensate you. Sometimes family harmony has to take precedence over other considerations. Only you can decide that for your situation.
Thank you for the info. We booked the room in early February. When you say to negotiate with the property to still compensate you, is that in addition to the $100 cash and 90,000 points?
