Question - does anyone else notice that the "Manager's Choice" rental option is BY FAR the least expensive rental option these days, sometimes like 70% the price of the next least expensive rental (Economy)?
Has anyone had experience using the Manager's Choice option and then still getting President's Circle upgrade benefits?
Even if that's not an option, I'll still opt for it because it's so much less expensive, and then pay the $30 more a day to upgrade to Full Size.
By President's Circle, do you mean Gold Choice?
I haven't seen clear evidence one way or the other as to whether PC members can reserve a compact and then use their guaranteed upgrade to qualify for a midsize, which is the minimum for Gold Choice access.
I haven't seen Manager's Special be that much cheaper than a midsize, sometimes $10-15 or so. Not enough to make it worthwhile to me in most cases.
