Several other bloggers have subsequently noted that National is also offering to status match you if you have elite status in another car rental program. That s a unique departure model home virtual tour from past practice in the car rental industry airline and hotel status matching has been a long-standing practice but car rental companies haven t routinely done it.
As I observed in my earlier post, at the base signup level I like National better than the other car rental firms because of their Emerald Aisle (choose your own car) concept. But I don t make National my own rental company of choice because I m too addicted to the treatment I get from elite status elsewhere.
Honestly, while I think National s status benefits are good, I maintain that they re best for the non-status member and that they re competitive at the first level of status. But their Executive Elite (top tier) level doesn t compare with the benefits of Avis Chairmans or Hertz Presidents Circle.

It won t matter much but the jokers over on FT will be photoshopping jpgs all over the place to steal status, at least I m guessing they will after the AA 83k miles discussions over there seems like a LOT of morals are missing in that community now
