PointsHound announced changes today that increase your earning potential on many hotels around the world. In the example cases they gave, the increases are north of 40% more miles or points. I took a look at a few hotels I frequent and did see higher earning rates on a few, though not as big as 40% more. In speaking with Pete VanDorn from PointsHound, these changes are a combination of their recent acquisition by Points.com and the strength of new relationships with certain hotels and hotel chains where bigger commissions are leading to bigger rewards for customers.
