Down even more yesterday, 478, so booked and cancelled old one. I always check the day before I leave.

Just found a big price drop today on our upcoming week long trip Feb 22- March 1 on Thrifty using a AAA rate. Dropped price of a compact down to $229 total.

That's what it says, but there have been some reports that's not how it's working at MCO. Blue Chip worked like that the last time I used them, but that was a few years ago. It was shut down for a while and the program was not accepting new members. I haven't seen anyone definitively state that the program is up and running like it was before and for the fairly insignificant cost difference, I've chosen to use other providers that I know give me a better experience and more choice in vehicles.

Budget prices for my trip are down today. If I book through Costco and give my Fastbreak number, do I still get to skip the counter? Usually use Alamo..
