Points for all Incidental $$

Marriott-branded properties: (Residence Inn, Courtyard, Fairfield, etc.)

Points on the base room rate paid on Priceline only, no points for $$

I know this is so because I had a stay earlier this year at a Courtyard and only got points on the room rate, even though I had bought quite a few incidentals. The rep on the phone explained the above to me. I guess this is what they have worked out with the Franchisees (non-Marriott owned properties)

So if you do your stay at FFI on Priceline, then you'll only get the $ for the room rate. If you do it normally, regular rules apply.
Just because you got credit for a room rate on a Priceline stay doesn't make it "so."
