No success, but the currency valuation difference between the
BMI UK Hertz site and the US$ has knocked $1-$3 off each Hertz rental.
I do have one quick question... these are not elite-qualifying miles, are they? I mean of course they shouldn't be, but I just wanted to check.
These are Redeemable Miles (RDM) to be used in CO, BD, NW, and VS in descending order of earning.
Other question, just to put this in context: what do you plan to use the 100k miles for?
I'm just asking because it'd be nice to hear that all the parking and the early wakeups and trudging about while you're sick is worth it for some sweet business-class ticket somewhere.
Historically, I redeemed for trips to TLV. Fortunately, this route is becoming more competitive and dropping prices. Accordingly, S. America C tickets and exploring Asia in F are next on my list of redemption options alongside the planned future trips to NZ and AU.

My current schedule no longer requires any lengthy work travel. I don't mind the mileage runs, but miss out spending crazy weekends in Vegas. Is there a different method of "buying miles" that is working better for you besides flying? I am definitely game for anything.

I wonder if that stacks with the 3,000 Skymiles Budget is offering. They're also offering 1000 Skymiles for booking reservations with other car companies.
It took me a few minutes to find this
link, but it gave me some time to reacquaint myself with the DL forum and find this
Budget FastBreak offer.

But the massive amount of miles are definitely worth it given the low cost, just if you don't mind the hassle.
Sorry to hear that rental did not work out for you. 100k miles is definitely worth it to me. After suffering a transcon on Regional Jets last year, this is nothing! SYR-CVG-CLE-IAH-SLC hurt my back; renting cars is cake!
