Despite what everyone now thinks about Goldpoints, they are providing a better rate of return than Mypoints if you are going to buy anything from BN.com. Mypoints will give you 2 mypoints per dollar spent. Each Mypoint is equal to either .44 AS mile, 1 HH point or .67 Marriot point - so, at 2 mypoints per dollar, you receive .88 AS miles, 2 HH points or 1.34 Marriot points.

Via Goldpoints, you will get 2.5 miles per dollar at the 10:1 ratio and 3.125 miles per dollar at the 8:1 ratio. Convert those airline miles to HH if that is your thing and you will get a minimum of 5 HH points per dollar (by funneling the goldpoints through one of the airlines that transfers to HH at 1:2).
