If you look at Green Choice, it's either $5 or 500 points. So, I'd think they pay a penny or less.

Any clues?
Fraction of a penny. I am not sure if it varies from hotel to hotel, but I believe it may vary between category (promise points, green choice, room charges). I would guess service promise points cost the most.
