I realized later that while they when 3* SPG on dollars etc they didn't go 3* on green choice I'm pretty indifferent to the points now. After years of doing it I just prefer to keep them out of my room.
And who makes their bed in the hotel with Green Choice.
Of course they 'lose' on the fact that I don't turn any lights out and leave the air going all day, which housekeeping always changes. So how Green is the choice?
