So in essence you're paying $25 plus some taxes for a two or three day car rental and $17 in WN fares. (Yes, I know, people turn their noses up at WN. I rather like the flexibility they give me for short coach flight.) Very hard to beat that.
Case in point; just turned a two day Alamo rental out of DFW for $80 into a two day rental for $23 with $17 in WN WGA points kicked back with one of those.
