So... is this ok according to the rules or do I have right to some compensation?
I'm guessing this one was a misunderstanding. You inquired about free breakfast so they assumed that's what you wanted rather than the points. Technically the offering should be "500 points per stay or $10 Food & Beverage credit per day". If they don't offer you the choice, then the compensation is $50US (or local currency equivalent).

Speaking for myself, if they're offering you a free breakfast vs. just a $10US (whatever the local currency equivalent is), I'd go for the breakfast & not try for $50 compensation but that's just me.

Cheers.
