A full for the midsize price doesn't save me much; $5 a week or $2 a day for daily rates, on my contract. Guaranteed premium for the full size price would be nice, though. That's a big jump for me. I usually do end up with premium when I rent from the airport, but since it's been on my dime lately, I've been avoiding the exorbitant taxes/fees at the cost of usually getting exactly what I book.

Back on topic, it appears that all my rentals so far this year have counted toward status. The site tells me I need 13 more rentals to get the 1.5 point/$ tier of Preferred Plus. It should be 12, but I'm just assuming that's because my last return hasn't percolated through the system yet. It's really too bad that the jump isn't to PC, but what can you do? If National weren't $30 a week more and 20 miles away to get to the off-airport location, I'd probably give them a try if they'd match me to EE, despite the free day earning structure being terrible for 7 day rentals.
