I thought you were saying here that you got 500 Marriott points for flying UA? Or are you saying your 500 UA miles are converted into 500 Marriott points? It's kind of confusing as the two are not related AFAIK. SPN Lifer summed it up clearly.
Yes, one earns Marriott points for United flights, and United miles for Marriott stays.
