With new HH reward levels, now which is better: 4 HH points or 1 Starpoint?
January 7th, 2009 by jack
These award changes made me look at my CC strategy: currently I use the DL Amex whenever I can get at least double miles (most of my Amex charges this year have been on the DL card); all other Amex charges go on the Starwood card. My only purpose in getting DL miles is to convert them to HH (AA is my main FF account), although I keep a balance in my DL account as a backup for emergency tickets. I use HH points and Starpoints only for hotel awards.
Since HH points have been devalued with the new award levels, I don't know if 4HH points are still better than 1 Starpoint. If I had Diamond status with HH, I think HH would still be the better choice, but I'm a lowly Gold so I still have to deal with blackout dates.
Any advice from the braintrust would be greatly appreciated.
