So I get an okay ROI of 1.1 CPM, not as good as 0.72 CPM for aa213bb, but good enough when compares to purchasing miles from aa.com

A huge chunk of my costs came up from parking "additional" cars in airport parking lot. In a typical day, I checked out 10 cars for both my and my wife's account (unsurprisingly, we were both upgraded to Avis First in no time!). It became an ordeal to move these cars and park to airport daily parking lot (the long-term parking lot is cheaper, but entails more time for me to return to rental counter).
