The problem is that I don't remember my Marriott total balance after each stay.
I can guarantee you that Marriott is not mixing points and miles in your statement. So that extra 500
points is definitely points you earned, not miles.
If you want to know your points balance, look at the last reservation you made (and I know you make a lot

). Your points balance is listed on every confirmation email.
