Are you sure you're looking correctly? They're no longer listed separately. They're only shown in the last "+" part right after the total number of points posted. And if you have other things like a promotion bonus, you have to do the math yourself to separate out the promotion bonus from the check-in bonus, since they're not shown separately but instead added up into a single number.

Two examples:

If you do an award stay on which all your earn is the check-in bonus, it might look like this: 1000 (0 + 0 + 1000).

But if you do a two night stay which earns 2000 bonus points from MegaBonus plus 1000 check-in bonus points, it'll look something like this: xxxx (yyyy + zzzz + 3000). You have to do your own math to take apart that "+ 3000" and know that 1000 of it is the check-in bonus while 2000 of it is from the Megabonus for a 2-night stay.
