  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Looking for a convertible for 1/12-1/19 in Kauai not sure which discount to use.

I have Hertz Gold through Amex Platinum (not sure if I can get any other elite status through other companies).

Also, is it worth using points/miles on this rental?

Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated!

hertz USAA brazil with pc#165406 comes out to $306 after taxes (without insurance ) for the Eclipse spider.
