Elite benefits/points on Hotwire opaque reservations
Hotwire has a prepaid rate which is almost certainly National for $185 while my corp rate is $330 (EC discount rate is $450).
While I know the opaque rate will not be changeable/cancelable, and there's likely small risk it won't be National as I'm guessing... Those things aside, would I be able to use the executive aisle? Would I receive rental credits?
Thanks in advance.

Technically, the answer is no to both questions, however, we've seen both work in the past. YMMV though.
Before you pull the trigger on a non-cancelable rate, you may want to request a quote from AutoSlash and then PM us the inquiry number from your quote. We may be able to match the opaque rate with a pay-later one, or at least come close. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
