I am stunned by your experience at Marriott. I started with Marriott last year continued this year - both times qualifying as platinum. Right when the smoking ban was announced, I signed up with Starwood. I'm a smoker, not a rapist, and should not be treated like a criminal.
What baffles me is someone at Marriott gave the directive to search suitcases of guests who are smokers. I think the action of Marriott was disgraceful and completely unwarranted. Some of us worry about the cleaning crew taking a few things - now we have to worry about overzealous managers!
If I were you, I would be looking for a lot more than a reimbursement or points.
I have 250,000 points and plan on burning them at Ritz Carlton.

Keep in mind that Marriott is not the only hotel in town. You also have Starwood and Hilton. If Marriott wants to use gestapo tactics to manage their business, the best we can do is make sure they don't have much of a business to manage.
