If anyone needs to top up an Aegean account you can do so with a Hertz rental which gives you:
up to 2 days - 350 Award Miles   
3+ days - 700 Award Miles

Whats the cheapest car with them?
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Depends on the location and the time of year. I have had paid cars for $40 for 3 days or less...

This was probably before your days :)

Hertz miles are only "award" miles, not "tier" miles.

As far back as I can remember.

The initial signup bonus miles are the only non-flight miles that count.

But a few months ago a friend of mine got points from Hertz credited to his Aegean account and he sees it in addition to the points he earned through flying...what does that mean?
