Points will be returned immediately.

I cancelled a booking yesterday with 50K certs attached and they came back immediately. I know there can be issues but IME it behaves pretty well now and I wouldn't say you need to detach before cancel. I guess if you want a rule that will definitely keep you off the phone with Marriott it's a good rule though
