    Hi everyone, I'm travelling to the USA for the first time in April, and I'm hoping to get some tips on maximising SC earn. By April, I will be about 200 SC's short of QFF Gold, so I'm hoping to make up as much of that gap from the trip as possible. I intend to fly premium economy, but I'm...

    Hertz #1 Club Rentals To Date haven't reset

    Hi all, I know it's only the 1st still, and Hertz is so US-centric that they probably process #1 Awards via the US or something, but I've noticed when logging in today that the home screen shows: "2010 Rental YTD.... 26" - i.e. it's updated the calendar year, but my qualifying #1 Club...
