National's "One Two Free" Promotion Returns

OFF TOPIC, feel free to delete after done.

Still no coverage about "The Club" rule change on Sep 1? I thought this was one of your personal favorite topics. You need to up your game man. This was weeks ago and will be effective in a week.

I read the T&C, but I could not tell if the date you booked the reservation matters. In particular, do reservations booked prior to registering today count if completed in the promotional period? The rate for the weekend I selected has gone up over $100 since when I booked, and I don't want to rebook, so I am hoping it qualifies.

Chase Sapphire Reserve also offer Exec status at National and Preferred Plus at Avis for holding the card.
Nationals Executive aisle is pretty awesome. Can pick any car/truck minivan there for midsize rate.

Rarely see minivans or mid-size SUVs in exec aisle anymore. Some Nissan Rogues or Ford Escapes is all you can aspire to these days.

Sumi, go to Boston. Lately, minivans and the small Hyundai SUVs were all they had.

National is great but I failed at this promo last time. Earned three free days. Zero chance to use them. Seemed too hard to combine with paid days or gift to other people.

The emerald isle have really been going downhill in the past year. It's either Nissan, GM, or a Toyota/Hyundai here and there. I remember the days I use to get really nice cars, but everything is a "splurge" and pay $50 a day upcharge. Smart for National, no so much for customers. Still love the promotion, usually get a few days free each year, especially handy for one way drops which end up being "free".

DFW's Exec aisle is typically fantastic...I've picked up BMW, Infiniti, a Tahoe with 3 miles on it, not to mention the Chargers and Cameroes that I never choose but that are available.. And turnover at the aisle is so fast, just stand and wait 10 min and they'll pull up in something you want to drive.

@abe - you're doing it wrong if you can't find value in a free day or two. National's website and app make it easy to apply a free day to a paid rental. Maybe you're reserving the wrong car type, the free days are limited types.

I forgot to mention that Exec Elite status, at DTW last month I didn't want a truck from the Exec aisle and so I asked at the shack about a fancier car...drove out in a Mercedes. LAX would have done the same for me but they needed their lux cars returned to LAX while my trip last month was returning at LGB. Still, the brand new Durango they dug up for me was much better than the midsize I reserved...
