Surprised to see a Platinum invitation in my in-box. Hertz upgraded me to PC earlier this year (maybe due to UA 1K status? I typically rent 10-15 times a year, mostly 1-2 day rentals, and make 5* without problem, but not even close to PC). Now, like last year's "Pay us $250 for PC!" promo, seems they want to sell me Platinum (for $1000+).
Not worth it to me, but does make me wonder if all the levels are "slipping" a tier (e.g. the new 5* is PC, the new PC is Platinum).
