Thanks for Expedia suggestion. Will try that.
No, not defending UA or anyone. It is a fact of many, many web sites POS decides the pricing (which has it's own logic). I maintain 2 Hertz accounts and usually I can rent a car in the USA for less using my NZ account. This is not a new arrangement (or your perceived scam) but around for years.
