Agreed. You get more with your MR point than with your HH point.

I actually feel that Hyatt Gold Passport points are the most valuable. I am taking the family on vacation this summer in California (2 nights San Diego, 6 nights Anaheim) and HGP gave us the best value, hands down. I could have used HGP, MR or HH points, but Hyatt gave me higher-end hotels, Executive Club (SD) and Kids Suites (ANA) for VERY reasonable points totals.

Hilton may offer more earnings opportunities but it typically requires more points per night than Marriott. 10,000 points/night at a category 1 roadside Hampton (and yes, I've done it ) is no bargain.
