Update: PointMaven Now Uncovers Superior Hotel Reward Offers With Maps
When we reviewed PointMaven, a utility to help compare nearby hotel reward offers, we suggested that the site would be "infinitely more useful with an option to superimpose hotel locations on a map." We were pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Boaz Smueli of MileMaven.com:
You've mentioned that "[PointMaven.com] would be infinitely more useful with an option to superimpose hotel locations on a map". That's absolutely correct!If there is anything we like, it's fast, responsive customer service. If you're planning on booking a hotel anytime soon, give PointMaven.com another look. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER
So here it is: PointMaven.com now shows the hotels and promotions on Google Maps. It currently supports 3 programs (Marriott, InterContinental Priority Club, Starwood Preferred Guest), and the others will be phased in.

Useful tool, but I think still not quite ready for prime time. Doing a broad search still generates the older, non-mappy version of the results, which I agree is a bit wonky. It wants to be kayakish, but is a few generations shy so far.
The site also doesn't overtly state where/how they're getting their info. Advertiser presence on the site triggers a few alarm bells for me.
