Anyone else decline Green Choice? I've realized the points aren't worthy a clean room.

Never done green choice. I see the perk of traveling as not having to make my own bed. Don't change sheets so no environmental impact but I do like the clean towels.

D5 that article lent absolutely zero evidence toward the thought that the green choice is actually worse for the environment. It's just a bunch of hotel staff complaining about dirtier rooms and losing hours (legitimate complaints that I'm sympathetic toward). One person claimed they used more chemicals cleaning the rooms after not being serviced for days than they would've if they cleaned it every day... which I find very hard to believe.

Always take the points. I prefer the privacy of not having somebody in my room to rummage through my stuff and I get a few extra points for it.

Let's say you travel 48 weeks out of the year and you get 1000 points each week for doing green choice. That's 48K points a year meaning that's a solid 4-7 free nights depending on where you redeem!!
