Nope, that dream died the second I toddled into the Gold Office: "it doesn't work the same here as in America - you can swap to another car in the same class but if you want anything better you'll have to pay..." So basically, it's the same offer as it's always been ?

I know they are 2 different markets but really, using the word "Choice" in the UK version is bordering on false advertising :O
FYI, with a compact booking, you wouldn't have qualified for Ultimate Choice in the US.
