Thanks Margarita
Yes Ontario Canada.
The annoying thing is that we were waiting for those points to book an award , and I only just found out tonight that we could have booked without having the points in the account already, prior to the incr3ease. I'll live with that but still need to make our booking

It does mske me feel better. The last Marriott rep I spoke with was the one who basically scolded me for not booking before the increase suggesting it was my fault, and had I known the rules I wouldnt have waited for the points to book. Should have known she didnt have it right.
Thanks for that !

When the ONLY charges on the Amex Marriott card are from Marriott hotels, then it may be delayed one cycle.
Therefore, always charge a coffee or something to your card if you have used the card at a Marriott hotel.
This worked like a charm!

Amazingly, that makes total sense as I had a negative balance in my non-Marriott spend due to many canceled tickets thanks to Covid-19. However, I had a few Marriott charges which offset that, so I earned more Marriott points than what I lost. And my points which usually post around the 25th of the month, have not appeared yet.
I should have been more clear: always charge a coffee or something that’s NOT at a Marriott hotel to the card if you also used the card at Marriott in the same cycle.
Yeah weird but totally works

I DID cancel one Marriott Amex card after getting three delayed points posting in a row. Kept the business Amex though for the 15 elite nights.
