Same Platinum bonus points at all hotels?
I did a search but didn't get a result. Does anyone know if the number of bonus points offered to platinums upon check-in is the same across all Marriott brands? I know that a full service Marriott offers 500 pts but not sure about the others.

Only FS Marriotts (MAR, REN, JW) offer bonus points as a platinum welcome gift (500 Points). At SHS, CY, RI, FI, and TPS you don't have a choice of welcome gift and it is typically some bottled water and cookies or some other light snack.

I've read, but never seen, that some international Courtyards give 250 points as an option. I've stayed at a few CY's internationally, and was not given a choice. Just some juice and stuff.

At check-in at the Curacao Marriott Resort I was invited to select two arrival gifts from the usual list.
So, I selected the 500 points AND three (individual size) Curacao liquers which we requested them to deliver after 8 PM that evening.
When we returned to our room from dinner in Wilemstadt that evening the liquer (3 different colors).
A very nice presentation including the stemware on a silver tray.
