I found the card yesterday, requested "no service" and then hung it on my door prior to 2AM... the next morning, the card was gone, but nothing was under my door.
I talked to the front desk, and they said there was no such program that offered 500 points or $5 for declining housekeeping...
Can anyone validate that the Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon isn't participating? Is there a list of participating hotels?

FYI, I typically find service at this property to be below standard. While a bit out of the way, don't forget there is a new four points.

If there was a card in your room that you hung on the door, I would take the card to the front desk, show it to them and again ask for the points. The card would be the best local indicator that they are participating in the program. If they say no points, based on the card being in the room I would ask for a supervisor to approve teh points if required. If they removed the card, which is not typical, I would point out there was a card in the room which you hung on the door etc.

Today, there was no card in my room... I guess I'll go to the front door again.
The card didn't say anything about $5 or 500 points - just provided an option to decline housekeeping... Can anyone take a picture of what the card is supposed to look like?

In most of the properties I've stayed in, they're pretty good about posting them at the same time the other points post. I don't think I've ever had a case where a property hasn't posted the "make a green choice" points by the time the elite bonus points post for that stay.

Manhattan proper? No. The closest hotels that do would be the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel and The Westin Jersey City Newport.
