You mean "because of this alone".
I think it could well result in 2 points less a lot of the time. One point off for the transfer and, if they encounter service or other issues, another point.
Kind of unbelievable about the room card though. Why didn't they just replace the lock and fix it later? Engineering could've gone there, tested it (as you would expect them to do) then replaced it within 15min while the guests were out.
