So it gets worse:

It's based on $ spent, like Hertz, not # of rentals, like associate company National.

And it's not a super-duper-value-buster deal like National and sometimes Hertz free days can be: low number of rentals or points to redeem for the most expensive car classes on the most expensive days in the most expensive cities. Instead, the Enterprise system adapts to how many points are required, based on the retail price of a corresponding paid rental, JetBlue style.

By contrast, you can join Emerald Club and earn National credits with Enterprise. Okay, if you don't live near an airport or are not flying in, you might have to travel out of your way to redeem National free days. But other than that, why would anyone choose to earn points under the new Enterprise program?
