Likewise I always book at least an Intermediate and upgrades tend to be something like a Ford Edge or Hyundai Azera. I think I did get a Premium once if Lincoln Towncar is in that category. A nice big white one with Florida plates.
As for anyone waiting on free weekend coupons, there are so many restrictions I've found them difficult to use. It requires at least a Saturday to Sunday rental and a minimum of 2 days. Plus you're on the hook for airport fees and tax which in some places (think Houston) can be just insane.
