Hi Randy - I'm a n00b but I did search for 2 hrs before posting

Basicaly I'm very good with points management from a hotel; Diamond with Hilton, Platinum with Starwood and whatever the lowest level is with Marriott (not my fav but some time you have to do what you have to do ), Airlines its AA Platinum and I have become a big fan of SW (I have a few free flights).

But...I don't know where to start with rental car companies. Basicaly I travel M-Th to the same destination for extended periods of time (1-6 months depending on the project). I always let the other guys on the project rent the car because I don't much care for driving (Living near ORD/ MDW FTW!!).

But I have been using Thrifty for the past 2 week but THIS thread has me a little worried about Thrifty in KC and I will be here 3 more months. I can choose whatever company I want from the following: Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, National and Thrifty.

Basically I want to maximize my returns (be it hotel, airlines or free car rentals). I know this means being consistent; since I'm alone I don't care much about car upgrades but I have gotten use to "free" vacations over the past few years

Suggestions?

Thanks and I promises I wont ask a Q and run but I will contribute back to the community. Just point me to the "Get your shirts boxed at the dry cleaner" threads

Thanks!
