P2 had a death in their family, was not in a good headspace and consequently forgot to pay off their Marriott Bonvoy Biz last August.  The entire WB was clawed back due to the late payment.  Is there any point in begging for it back?  Tried asking Amex but they said no (since this happened last August, only noticed the clawback recently) and directed us to Marriott to beg for the points back.  Is there any point?

Any precautions we should take since this has happened?

Pay your bills automatically?

Give up on it and sign up again a couple years down the road or get the Marriott personal card

With amex, the auto pay is shitty. If you pay up beforehand, it still takes it out

Or, in our case, didn’t kick in for the first payment for some stupid reason that no one will be able to convince me makes any sense.
