I use the 0.5RR credit if I have a short rental (1 day or two) and my total amt charged is very low. (lately less than $20 for two/3 day weekend rentals with heavy use of coupons^ )I figure the 0.5RR credit is worth about $10. (32 times 0.5 credit equals 16 credits for free RR ticket--may be worth $320). If I have a lengthy rental with moderate/high cost (like weekly or expensive weekdays), I would then do ZE1 pts. I did ZE1 pts with sub $20 rentals before I discovered that I could credit with RR credits. (I usually flew AA or UA & the 50/miles per day barely covered the cost so I didn't bother--credited to ZE1 pts). I joined SWA program & with the great coupons on FT, I will slowly but surely get a free RR ticket by crediting to SW.
