Do I have any recourse if Marriott is playing games with my reservations made before the categories went up? They cancelled one reservation and points went up on others and nobody is willing to help. I have printed reservation confirmations.
Hotel can cancel, its possible.

I used my  anniversary night a month ago, but it's still in my account(not even showing my hotel stay in history). I made a new reservation using the e-certificate, any issues doing this? Happened to anyone else?

No, I used a few and automatically were gone from the account. Also not showing the stay means it was a glitch, let us know how it goes.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

There is a known situation and this can happen, not limited to free nights. Some hotels know their game though. I've had better.  ::)

Here’s what you need to do if you have prepaid reservation which Marriott Bonvoy contrary to the T&Cs won’t allow SNAs to be applied to:
1. Make another reservation using Best Flexible Rate for a hotel that allows SNAs to be applied.
2. Log out and log back in and then:
Click “My Trips” and choose the new reservation made using the Best Flexible-rate. Choose View/Modify and open it another tab or window (not incognito).
Go back to My Trips and open the prepaid reservation on another tab/window (not incognito) to which you would like to apply the SNAs.
Go back to the window or tab that should have the best flexible-rate reservation and start the upgrade process. Due to how Marriott handles website sessions, it should then bring up the prepaid reservation to which you can now apply the SNAs.

Marriott stays that post after promotion date will count toward promotion date even if stayed before.

If staying 4 nights (on points) and get the fifth night free, then does the fifth night also count towards number of nights? (To earn Platinum 50-nights?)

Possibly, I had a stay of a few nights thru OCT 30.

So most likley even if stay started before, as long as 1 night is within the promotion period it should be ok.

thats a different story I was assuming the entire stay was in the promo period and the stay just posted to your account after the promo period

Thought so as well, but double checked.

How often does they update peak/off peak pricing? For example if January or Feb is currently showing Peak, will that change? Or has it already been decided that those dates will be peak

Do you the annual benefits for Platinum and Titanium once they reach 50 and 75 need to be selected before January 1st, or can they be selected afterwards?

"You must select your Choice Benefit(s) by January 15 following the year in which you qualified; if you don’t, Marriott will automatically select five Suite Night Awards for you."
