They kept it out of service to assure it would be waiting for me!

So I am a little puzzled/stressed about this upcoming reservation. Their sample map doesnt even have a Platinum section. The email they just sent suggests platinums need to pay for upgrades I would typically get for free "Upgrades are available for just $35 more per day* (only $25 more per day* for President’s Circle and Platinum members). Simply select the vehicle you want to drive from the Premium Upgrade zone and go"

What if I have them deliver the car to the terminal - are they just grabbing something off the lot without pre-blocking a top vehicle fior me?

Any Platinums have any experience with Ultimate Choice?!

To answer my own question - I just got the Carfirmation email - about 20 hours in advance of my scheduled pickup - and they have already assigned a Cadillac CTS (maybe I will be surprised with a CTS-V although I know those are not part of the BOS fleet). So it seems like even with the "ultimate choice" they are continuing their practice of preblocking desirable cars for Platinum customers.
