Because that is something we need to concern about, and many of us saw a hidden reason behind this, If you look at a larger view, it is not just a simply "bonus 500 points if you don't want housekeeping".

If they're serious about this, then they need to offer more than a measly 500 pts for the option, with the money they could be saving. Consider what they charge for housekeeping. At HGVC properties on membership stays, if I want housekeeping it's around $35-$40/per day. At the new West 57th by Hilton Club (which is just HGVC) in NYC, if a stay is less than 4 days, there is an $85 "housekeeping fee" upon check-in (and daily housekeeping is still not included). Just because they have to make up the room more than once in a week.
With HHonors pts about to be hit with a major devaluation, they should offer at least 1,000 pts/day to decline housekeeping.

At I'm at 107 nights YTD, so for me we're talking about an extra 50,000 points per year...ya, I'd probably opt for it.
