Is this a chain-wide change to the 250 points for MAGC option or just this property?
Hi petec88,

We have an update on your inquiry.

When we rolled the Make A Green Choice program in Asia Pacific, one of the feedback we have received from the majority of our guests is that housekeeping services like making the bed, replenishing drinking water + bathroom amenities & having trash removed were important. As such, we have altered our program to continue to provide these services and at the same time, adjusted the Starpoints reward accordingly.

Thus for AP hotels that are participating in the program, they will be required to provide only 250 Starpoints as the reward.
