I typically do the mobile check in, just for the slim chance at 1 million MR points. There's really no such thing as an upgrade at the SHS, so I don't have to worry about that...
Sadly, if you win the 1 million points, you will required to pay tax on $12,500 of income (the "value" of the Marriott Rewards points).
