Does 1-night reservation cancellation penalty earn points?
On rates where there is a 1-night cancellation penalty for canceling too close to the reservation's starting night, when that 1-night penalty is assessed, does it earn points? (Even better, does it earn points as being equivalent to having stayed that first night?) I didn't do it on purpose, but I forgot to cancel a reservation until it was too late; and it'll be at least a little bit of silver lining if I'll earn the corresponding points for the spend.

Based on what I have read here in the past, no. Otherwise you could earn status and points by booking the cheapest reservations available anywhere in the world, and not showing up.
