You can keep going forever. When I have a long rental I typically break it into one day non qualifying rental in between because you don't earn any point over 28 day rental.
I need to do a run to get 1 more 2007 rental under my belt in order to keep Executive status.
So I plan on renting a car from Manhattan on Sun 12/30 and returning to EWR on Mon 12/31 (National has a special $25 rate for this, presumably to help them shuttle cars back-and-forth from Manhattan).
I then need a car on 12/31 thru 1/1 (which I understand will count towards 2008 status). So I figured I would pickup at EWR right after dropping off the Manhattan car.
Does anyone know if this is considered a consecutive rental even though the pickup locations are different? I can also take the airport shuttle bus to the Jersey Gardens Outlet Mall to kill an hour or two, if necessary (to make them non consecutive rentals).
