Well my friend, you have bad luck.

Even as a regular Gold, i have been upgraded 100% of the time. These upgrades are not always automatic, i may need to talk to the Gold desk about it, but i am always UG'd. If i dont like the UG, i pay a few dollars more per day for a REALLY nice UG.

Lately, I've been getting SUV's for weekend rentals at my local HLE for $20 / 2 days including taxes. UG'd from a focus, just because they know i want an SUV.

You've got to get crafty, i know Sea-tigger knows the game.
