If I were a Marriott agent I would give you your points back. As for the actual Marriott agents...
How I wish you were, although I'm not sure if they have the authority. I'm actually betting that they are specifically told to deny it using the "to be fair to all members" phrase at all costs. Usually in cases like this, its not unreasonable to be given a one-time exception or goodwill. (at most other companies)
However, I'm dealing with Marriott. So....already ready to get #bonvoyed.
