Is this a mistake from Marriott or is my understanding of points booking not counting towards elite qualifying incorrect?
There must be some other reason that your stay is not eligible for an upgrade, such as the primary one others have mentioned. I have had both complimentary upgrades and NUAs granted on points stays frequently.
