Yes, you now earn at R-C's, although only on room charges, not food etc. Gold's also get free internet. We did 5 nights at an R-C resort in October and I got a veritable bonanza of points, especially as they didn't impose their own rule and DID give points on incidental spend as well. This compares to the zero points I got for a $5k spend at IC Berchtesgaden on a F&F rate last week!
