Executive elite rental credit limited to certain class?
I've noticed the Brooklyn location in NYC is allowing us to reserve full size elite and since I am an elite I thought there is no limitations on class I can use the free day on. Says on the app and website I can't reserve that.

For some reason full size elite is considered an "exotic vehicle" and thus isn't allowed for redemption as a executive elite.
This is a major annoyance I have in the program -- I can't seem to even reserve "luxury" anymore either.

Stealth devaluation? I also noticed I can't reserve anything higher than a Premium with a banked free day.

It's location specific. Some places don't allow certain classes to be reserved regardless of status or how you're paying. DTW, for instance, does not offer luxury as a reservable class so if that's something you want you have to talk to the folks at the desk.

At the Brooklyn location I ended up using my day with a premium crossover and got a caddalic SRX. Had 28,000 miles and it was an OK ride. I wouldn't pay the price for the rental or even buy it but it was an ok ride. I am currently renting a Ford fusion titanium and it's a 2017 model and it's fun.
