I joined this club (Executive Level) via AMEX Platinum and are planning on booking a car there for a trip to SFO this October. Has anyone had much luck? I am hoping to be able to grab a convertible or something fun, but am nervous that it appears to be a "first come first serve." Anyone have any experience? Tips?

What rate class did you book? I think it all depends on the airport. Emerald Aisle is definitely first-come-first-served, so if there's a convertible out there then it's yours, but if not, you're out of luck.

That's only if you're booking the Intermediate Car/Emerald Aisle rate. There are specific rates for a convertible, but are obviously much higher. Maybe someone with SFO experience with National can chime in.

Executive Aisle. I am going to try to book my car via the mobile app before arriving, but it isn't very clear to me the restrictions around that.

FT has individual threads for what cars are available at specific airports in the Emerald/Executive aisles. Don't think there's any advantage in booking last-minute, as long as you book mid-size or above.

Thanks! That was helpful, but its all anecdotal information. I'll just have to wait and find out for myself.
