I wonder whether this means that the system has actually let me buy the points, or might I later hear that they did not go through despite this ??

The real test will be when it comes to redeeming them post 8 March. Sometimes one has to live dangerously and indecision always has its price !
Bought a bunch on Tuesday and got an email from Marriott on Thursday saying the points had been credited to my account. But they haven't shown up yet. I'll make a call if they're not there by Saturday.
