My sense is the MAGC points will depend on what amount of points/reward (USD5 F&B credit at SPG) will shift behavior. MAGC is not so much about the environmental benefits (clearly there are) but about properties saving sometimes significantly on housekeeping and other costs. My sense is that 250 SPG points (USD5) was about the minimum customers would participate meaning if the points awarded fall anywhere below 750 points/USD5 in the new program, customer participation would likely drop. For example, I doubt a USD1 F&B credit would do much.
