So, about the same number of points as Thrifty. Personally, I end up with a free day about every 8 rental days. It sounds like these spend-based systems hurt you, because you're getting incredibly cheap rentals (~$10/day).
Yes, that's it exactly. But having said that, I'll take the incredibly cheap rental over faster free nights any day. On that last rental (24 days), everyone else came in at $750-$800. Thrifty was $430 so I can't complain too much.
