So given the uncertainty of the actual Hertz award costs, and the lack of particularly good value for this rental, I think I'll save my points for another time. I will say that I'm somewhat reluctant to hold Hertz points given the turmoil at their company and their willingness to change award levels with no advance notice. I also hate that they charge a cancellation fee for award reservations, which is pretty outrageous given common practices in the industry. I won't be buying any more Hertz points.
