Taken from Nintendos Q&A page: Gold Points can be used when purchasing a membership in the Nintendo eShop. They cannot be used for auto-renewal.

So that’s one less reason to complain about the pricing.

What do the payment options change? Every Gold Point spent for the subscription can't be spend instead to buy games cheaper.

The German word "Milchmädchenrechnung" comes to mind...
