I'm probably one of the few remaining US proponents out there, yet I'm baffled by nearly all of these promotions they do. So they want me to give up HHonors or Hertz points and earn some US miles instead? Or even transfer some of my HHonors points to US miles?

The only promotions that I actively participated in were the, "Everything counts," and the 10,000 M/C Europe bonus miles, and the last simply because it coincided with mileage runs I was planning.

I'd be willing to bet there are folks out there already planning how to do this, and quickly, so they get the *G status, as cheaply as possible. But for me, if I decide I want to keep my US/*G status, it is far easier to just find cheap flights (they still exist, just take a little more digging).
