one hit = 70 $

both options easy, no hassle but too expensive
I am a newb here, so sorry if silly question. So you are renting a car to have it credit a hotel program, to then convert/transfer to US?

Wouldnt it be cheaper, easier to just either:

1. Rent and have it credit/hit DM. Just checked local airport, you can rent for about $25 to $27 with all taxes. DM also having a double up promo, so 500 miles per rental.

2. Just to buy the points required for the hotel programs?
