Nope there wasn't.. You had to book a Fri-Sat and a Sat-Mon and then call in on Friday to roll it.. I did it as recently as last weekend.. Im happy with this 3 day option.. reduces me the headache..

Yeah, and it's fewer points. Like I wanted a 3-day weekend minivan rental and that used to be 3000 points for 4 days. Now that rental is 3300 points. But now you can rent it for only 3 weekend days for 2475 points. That option did not previously exist. As I'm guessing there are more folks who want 3-day "specialty" weekend rentals than want 4-day "specialty" weekend rentals, in this category, we're actually better off. Weird, but true. I've never previously benefited from a travel "devaluation"!

I just started looking at booking an Adrenaline collection car for the summer, last year I got one for two weeks for 9000 points, I was shocked to find this would now cost 16,500!!
A pretty terrible devaluation, I'm surprised I missed this last year when it happened.
