I think the OPs question is less to do with cancellations, and more to to with, say, a credit card “Spend $400 with Marriott and get $100 statement credit, expires in 3 days” offer. If payment isn’t taken immediately, you lose out on the offer, and are stuck with a non-refundable booking.

Secondly, if you have booked with Marriott, and are subject to Marriotts terms and conditions, why isn’t it down to Marriott to ensure these are adhered to ?
