I have used certs many times at Marriott hotels. They always post like CASH and I get the points.
I could understand the true BONUS bucks (i.e., free money if you do a 2 night stay, etc.) posting without points since those are more like a discount on the room rate.
But if it is a gift certificate that was paid for, it should absolutely post like CASH.
