So according to the weekly update the commendations go away for HoW and you will get 250 rep for each one you turn in.
So I had to grind to get 2500 experience for each level up and I will only get 250 rep per turn in. So it's the equivalent of two maybe three bounties. Wow..don't give us too much Bungie.

I'm just glad the useless things are going away, anything else is bonus.
