That is essentially the same as renting for 84 straight days. So I called reservations and had them try reserving the same size car in Seattle using my points and was told that it would require 2400 points for one free day! So I didn't even have enough points to get one free rental day!! Unbelievable!! There is NO way it is going to be worth renting for 90 days just to get one free day.

The rep told me they are still working out the kinks in the system since it is new and I told him they better figure it out quickly because people are going to be irate when they find out they have to rent for 3 straight months to get just one free rental day.

I'm starting to check out National now, seems everyone likes their program.
