"Rental Car - Various, though I am enrolled in Avis, Enterprise and National"

Note that most Hertz and Avis rentals -- even one-day, off-airport rentals -- can earn 1,000 Virgin Atlantic frequent-flyer miles, with no extra charge from the car-rental company. Virgin Atlantic miles can be redeemed for travel on US Airways and other carriers. So if you need free flights more than free car rentals, crediting Hertz/Avis rentals to Virgin Atlantic might make sense.
Why the two-step? You can earn US miles directly:

It's tough to earn 1,000 US Airways miles on a short rental. And don't most car-rental companies charge an excise-tax recovery fee when you credit miles to a domestic carrier?
