Anecdotally, in our last 3 stays at full service Marriott's, purchased on Priceline (SF Moscone, Vancouver Pinnacle, Laguna Cliffs), we received no stay credits or rate points but did receive 10 pts/dollar (IIRC FF miles at Vancouver) for everything charged to our room. This experience spans over about a year, most recently this April.
