With FHR, if you book directly through FHR, the hotel pays commission to Amex. If your TA books through FHR, the hotel pays commission to the TA.

With LHW, if your agent makes the booking, the hotel pays a commission to the TA. I don't know what the arrangement LHW has with hotels for direct guest bookings.
