Default Jacking Points

Can I use anything else on the side of the car other than the rubber points near the wheels? I need to rotate tires, and would like to do it myself.

Can't you use the spare to lower the car back down in between each swap ?

Default yup, but lining up the lugs is always a pain

Car is down for now, I don't need it for a few days (til the next snow storm hits)

Default Service schedule in the Bentley only calls for tire rotation at 5k and then never again.

I never rotate mine.
