Last week I wrote about one of National Car Rental’s top customers, his experiences of life on the road, and some of the exciting moments that have happened as a result of that road warrior lifestyle. He’s sat next to celebrities, helped out other renters, promoted new service concepts, and treated his family to free rentals thanks to National’s ONE TWO FREE promotion.
In exchange for talking to Harold about his life as one of the Executive Elite members in National’s Emerald Club loyalty program, National also provided me a giveaway for readers: a $200 American Express gift card and free status as an Emerald Club Executive member. Thanks to everyone who commented with your favorite travel stories! I let the deadline slip since it took me a while to announce this morning. But in the end we had exactly 100 entries. You all know how much I love round numbers. ๐
The winner chosen by a random number generator is #14. Congratulations to Marc!
I know a few couples who met on a plane. I can’t say I’ve ever chatted up a cute girl on a plane, but then I’m usually in first class surrounded by older business men and women. I have, however, had the opportunity to arm wrestle with an oil executive for the last bottle of Scotch. I guess being married makes that tradeoff a little easier. ๐
I’ll reach out to Marc, but don’t forget you can still earn free rentals with ONE TWO FREE through January 31, 2015. Every qualifying rental earns 300 points, and you need 600 points to get a free rental day. Points can also be earned in other ways, like renting on a weekend, renting for a whole week, or renting in Mexico.
Full disclosure: National offered me compensation to write this post as well as a prize for my readers. Regardless, these are my personal opinions and do not reflect the views of National Car Rental.
