You get nothing if the hotel doesn't follow the rules. Using mobile check-in basically let the hotels do whatever they want with the welcome gift because they have pushed the ball to us to have to actively go to the front desk and ask.

I'm ok as long as the points posted.
Using mobile check-in defaults to points as welcome gift. However, you can change your mind at physical check-in.
