It sounds like you didn't lock it in and just made a points advance reservation. The change Marriott made to points advance which let points fluctuate on existing reservations really is the biggest devaluation Marriott has made in a while. I try to avoid making these reservations at all and only ones I can lock in with a points deduction.
