I would have used my Icar res. to upgrade for $35 but there was only 1 car in the upgrade section (Audi A3) which was too small for my intended use.
So does Premium G class now mean President's circle access? I am sure this will ruffle some PC member's feathers.
I suspect that RDU is probably not following the established procedure, but it's hard to say for sure because what we believe is the established procedure is based on anecdotal evidence of what FT'ers have experienced at other locations, and conversations we've had in those same locations with local Hertz personnel. I personally was told in FLL that for anything other than ECAR-FCAR, they would assign you a spot but that you could choose from UC based on your status level.
In your particular case, you were allowed to choose from a status level higher than what you are but granted this may work for or against you, depending on whether what they have in the PC section is better/worse than what they would have assigned you had they taken the other approach.
