+1. That list is useless. It doesn't shown ANY San Francisco hotels. Yet the Westin St. Francis has been offering the program since 2009.

Makes sense since the url provides only Sheraton properties.

Plus you might want to get the Sheraton list updated. If you click on Bloomington, Minnesota, this hotel comes up:
Sheraton Bloomington Hotel, Minneapolis South
7800 Normandale Blvd. • Bloomington, Minnesota 55439 United States
Last time I checked, that hotel is now the:
DOUBLETREE BY HILTON BLOOMINGTON – MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH

Checked in to the Four Points Shenzhen and was given the option to opt in. I guess China is starting to adopt this program as well.

But that also is incomplete, The Westin Lake Las Vegas participates but it's not on the list.

I've stayed in a number of SPG properties in Asia/NA in the last couple of months -- they all seem to offer the green choice program, but they don't all seem to know how it works (or user error on my part.) My ability to actually get the 500 points has been hit and miss. Vancouver Westin told me 'no points' because I asked for coffee one day.

Hi all,
I was alerted a discussion over at another forum regarding the "Make a Green Choice" program.
Unfortunately, it is not appropriate for me to respond to any postings over at a competitor's channel.
Since there are a couple of members who visit both forums, do allow me to clarify over here.
·.The "Make A Green Choice" is offered at seven of our nine brands (excludes St Regis and Element).
·.Four Points and aloft properties offer a choice or ether 250 StarPoints or $5 F&B voucher.
· Sheraton, Westin and Le Meridien properties offer a choice or either 500 StarPoints or $5 F&B voucher..
·.W and Luxury Collection properties offer 500 StarPoints only.
·.There is no "capping" to the number of points earned per stay.

By the end of the year, MAGC will be a brand standard for 7 of our 9 brands so all hotels within those 7 brands, with a very few exceptions, will be offering it.

Not that I don't believe SW Lurker's info of this becoming a standard offering. :-D But that is still about six months out.
But can we develop a list here of known places that does offer points already? If the mods agree, I am willing to volunteer time to collate the list :-)
Thoughts?

Frankly, I would ditch both the Westin and Sheraton urls as a resource since they are no longer being updated.

just informed of the 3 day limit here at W Seattle. called whenever whatever to inquire and was slightly in disbelief - a quick search through this read proved them right!

Well another good news for Asia:
Le Meridien Bangkok is now offering to opt out as well. I just checked-in and was asked at the desk whether I was interested. I would get in return 2 vouchers for F&B consumptions for 125 THB each or, if i turned these vouchers in at check-out, they would convert them into 500pts each. So a total of 1000pts for a 3 night stay.
