Is it more generous than hotel loyalty programs tho? For example Hilton gives Diamonds 20 pts/$ spent. That's equivalent to ~8% cash back in my valuation, but you could then put those points towards a high value redemption, say 1 CPP, that makes it effectively 20% back. That would not be possible with the old Hotels.com. I suspect the "10 nights or nothing" model also saw more breakage.
