I would consider it a walk scenario and claimed Titanium benefits. If they are trying to put a hold on your card before checking in (card not present transaction) and the terms of the rate didn't require a deposit it should not give them a valid reason to cancel.

I'm sure OP isn't the first person to have a CC issue or expired CC on file before checking into a reservation.
