Since my newly minted PP, I have received a nifty phone charger from Marriott because they love me now, a few upgraded rooms, a few free Courtyard breakfasts, some candy and a cookie, and was able to use some certificates when I couldn't use them at the same facility before I got the PP status. (I tried as a lowly platinum in January and got "sorry Charley." I tried again a few weeks later with my newly minted PP and got, "Thank you for being a loyal Marriott member Ms. Nightowl, I am sure we can arrange that. Let me call the hotel. Do you mind holding for a few minutes Mrs. Nightowl?"

Congrats on that! I've been PP for the last 3 years and outside of the annual $10 or so gift, I don't see any difference or freebies.
