What an amazing trip report - if only I had joined FT with such a bang! I'm really impressed. Like everyone else here, I took am curious as to whether the points have posted yet - do update us about that if you can.

You've posted in the right place 37Rentals, this is the official fan base of the absurd mileage run, and over the years most of us long-timers can report booking a flight/hotel/car for £30 purely to receive points worth £200, or similar, but your industrialisation of the process as shown by that brilliant photo of a ream of Avis rentals catapults you straight to the top of the table!

Well, while I guess he broke the spirit of the promotion, he didn't break the terms, so not exactly cheating. They should learn their lesson and tighten up their terms for future promos, rather than chastising or punishing one clever(if cheeky) customer.
