I was looking into various statuses provided by WE mastercards, and came across this thread. I was looking to rent a car for a day in France, with a dropoff in another city - what's the likelihood of me renting a car one class below an automatic and getting upgraded to 1? The price difference is quite big, and there datapoints here are mostly for diamond, with a few platinum last year

Mastercard World Elite
I came across this thread and did a search on Mastercard's website. Under rental cars and Sixt, it does mention complimentary upgrade. I am assuming that Mastercard World Elite should still get the upgrade. Thoughts?

Hi - quick q folks - I am Platinum, I have a booking coming up at LAS and I will try to get a complimentary upgrade of course! Does it make any difference if I complete the online 'check-in'? Or should I skip the online check in and just get there and have a nice chat with the rep to see about any possible upgrades? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm a new plat and didnt get an upgrade in CDG a couple of weeks ago. Given some BS about that it was subject to availability up to 6 days prior to rental - load of crap. But the agent was happy to upsell! I booked a E-series, was offered a 420 (suitcases didn't fit that car) and was then made to wait 45min to get the E-series. While all along there was a 525 in the lot "...oh, but that is a different class... would you like to pay and upgrade to that?".
Solution: Complain to Sixt. Got a EUR100 voucher. Yet I doubt I'll book with Sixt again. Accorhotels just started their partnership with Hertz so I will give that a try.
