Well you're probably one of the few, especially if one uses Mypoints.com, which offers more miles per dollar (converting 2 points to 1 United mile) and with less restrictions on nearly all merchants in comparison to Airmilesmart. This is especially true since Expedia and Accor Hotels (Novotel, Sofitel, Mercure, etc.) joined Mypoints.com as merchants, which used to be my main reason for using Airmilesmart.
One exception though would be Starwood hotels, which are no longer available through Mypoints.com - for Starwood bookings, AirMilesMart is my choice, although the restrictions on US hotels and rates are really annoying.
