Yes, as a Plat you should get free Wi-Fi at Rens.
As for whether you will get the points or not when someone else is paying, the answer is it depends. In general, you will still probably get the nights/points credits, but technically, if someone else is paying you aren't supposed to. I would suggest "assuming" you won't get the points/nights and if they show up? Great, consider it a bonus.
