I can't say that I see any difference between my experience as a standard Preferred and a Select member. It's funny. Before I was awarded Select status, my midsize rentals were usually upgraded to the Century or that weird Buick Rendezvous thing. Now that I have a Select card I'm 5 for 5 on the dreaded Malibu, and it's starting to feel like they're transporting the same car--a red one with about 20,000 miles on it--to wherever I happen to be and switching the license plates. It's downright spooky!
