Scratch off amenity?
I just checked in at a RI. Front desk clerk told me they give scratch off tickets to all their platinum guests with a chance to win 10,000 MR points. Of course I won 250. No mention of an amenity. Or was that the amenity? I'm a little confused...

I don't stay at Residence Inns very often. Do they just give you the points bonus as an amenity without asking?

Got to spin a roulette wheel at Costa Mesa Marriott. Landed on 700 pts which was in addition to 500 gift pts. A pleasant bonus surprise..

I got one recently at the Courtyard Brookline-Boston, and ended up getting one pastry item from the Bistro.
