Just starting to look for a potential vacation in May. List price on Enterprise's web site showed a full-size rental for 4 days (over a weekend) to be about $125. I can get Enterprise GC from my AMEX points. Can those be stacked with other discounts? Or is it better to use the points elsewhere and just get a deal on the car w/o GC?

This is a good site to check on car rates and discounts.

you can check at biddingfortravel.com for past priceline winning bid on car rental. Well, I haven't used my AMEX reward too and it accumulates to 300K point now. Dunno what to spend yet.

I've got 49.5k on my amex biz card (it'll be over 50k after the next statement) which will get us airfare, plus 15k points on my starwood amex, which'll get 5 nights in hotel smile.gif So the only costs left are activities, food, and rental car.

thanks for the tips!

I have 63K on USAirways miles. I just convert that CC to simple reward with no annual fee, so I have to use that miles. Not sure where to fly.
