Sixt platinum upgrades - is 12-month limit for FFP comps applied in practice?
I've ignored the big Sixt thread, because it's not coherent or easy to go through.
Got my Sixt Platinum card a few days ago, on the basis of my OK+ status.
Since I prefer public transport when going to big cities, I only make 4-5 rentals a year, let's say about 3 with Sixt.
Card is valid until 2013 (!!), but the terms state that, unless I rent from Sixt more than 20 times a year, the free upgrade is only valid for the first 12 months of card validity. Is this something that gets overlooked in practice, or will they actually tell me to sod off if I have a rental in a year's time and ask them for an upgrade?

I cannot believe that they have a computer system that sophisticated.
I have never heard of these terms and conditions. where did you find them?
btw, following the webpage, platinum cards cannot be achieved anymore through 20rentals, the button doesnt exist under SIXT CARDS

When calling the hotline, you will be asked by an automatic system if you are waiting for your gold or platinum card, because you rented 5 resp. 20 times a year. It seems you can still earn the status by renting a car regularly.

They were the contents of the letter ("signed" by Mr. Sixt) and info pack sent to me with my card.
