I am writing this before I fly out later today. I will be landing in FLL a little before midnight. I have 3 RSVPs at this time, please let me know which company i should rent from:

The rentals will be from Wednesday eve until Tuesday am = 6 days. I didn't really use any coupons, so if you have some for me I'd appreciate it.

Avis - Presidents Club
Midsize
$264.47


National reserved via Enterprise - Executive Elite Emerald Club
Midsize
$240.77. They told me to remind them at the counter to add on  the USAA discount (ALNCGEN) which is %5 = -12 = $228

Hertz - Presidents Circle Gold
Nissan Altima 2-door or similar
$254.41

Aside from the $14-24 difference, where do I have the best chance to get  the best car/upgrade with my status? Anyone have a free day coupon or a free weekend day? What if i officially rent it for a week, get a discount, then drop it off early?

$264.47.    I would go to enterprise in FLL because when you finish at the desk and go to pick your car if you could flirt(give a $20) with the worker in the lot he will probabaly offer you any car in the lot... P.S. I just did this 2 weeks ago there and got a mustang convertible

I am updating once again:

Called Hertz and told them Avis beat their price to see if there was anything they could do for me, they gave me a $25 coupon. new total is:254-25=$229

Called Avis and told them they were beat by a Hertz, she gave me a free award day, after all said and done it now saves me $46. new total is $218

National didn't want to give me anything.. they remain at the original cheapest $228

I had to pay for one of the insurances- I forget which one- which about doubled the price but from my research there was no way around that one.

I booked it very early (about 5 months) so that is prob why I got such a great deal.

With my experience as 5 star you don't get unbeleivable upgrades unless you are/become friendly with them, when I rented consistently at local editions I would reserve compacts and would get at least a fullsize if not an suv, however in airports or "new" hle's I would only get one or two levels up

Ok - If you insist  :D the total All fees and insurance included which I had to pay, came out to $22 a day. When you minus the mandatory  insurance, it came out to $10/day.
