Make a Green Choice allows guests at Sheraton, Westin, Luxury Collection, Le Méridien, St. Regis and W locations and at participating Aloft, Element and Four Points by Sheraton locations to earn bonus points when declining housekeeping service each day.

Essentially, you’re offered a $5 USD credit, or depending on the brand up to 500 bonus points per night for declining housekeeping service, which can really add up. There are some caveats, such as it must be at least a 2 night stay, since you wouldn’t receive stay over service on just a one-night stay.

It’s unclear how Make a Green Choice will change once the merger of Starwood Preferred Guest and Marriott Rewards, but talking to a few Starwood properties, they said they will still have this available to allow guests decline housekeeping service for either bonus points or a credit.

Check our our recent post: Would You Rather: Hotel Maid Service or Bonus Points? where you can weigh in on your thoughts.
