HHonors 5,000 Promo
Quick question: I noticed the HHonors 5,000 promo on the Q1 2011 Hot list, but nobody's talking about it here. Any particular reason why?
I'm usually a National guy but National is jacking up its DAL rates big-time starting in April. I always do 2-day weekend rentals there in the $20-25/day range.
Budget seems to have this, plus 5,000 HH points per rental all years long, plus $25 in Budget Bucks every two rentals.
Am I missing something?
Yes, I'm forgoing fractions of National Free Days, perhaps some future perks of National top-tier status, and the ability to pick from very nice Executive Selection cars. But I literally drive these cars 50 miles tops so I don't mind slumming it in whatever Budget served up in the mid/standard category. At a clip of 5k HH times about 25 rentals, I'm thinking it's worth it...
