Hertz is revamping their loyalty Program, GoldPlus Rewards (formerly #1 Rewards) and they are giving away 500 points just for registering ( link ), for their promo. If you don t have a Goldplus or #1 Rewards account, you can get one for free (until September 30, 2011) here . While 500 points doesn t seem like a lot, its actually enough for a free full-size weekend rental day. Additionally, you will earn an extra 100 points on each rental July 1 September 30, 2011.
Assigned Promo Code Number: 154 This is a pretty phenomenal deal I often use 500 Hertz points for free NYC rentals and I ve never once not been able to get a car even on peak weekends. In general, you earn 1 point per dollar spent, so I get a free rental for every $500 I spend on cars. Since NYC car rentals are often $90+, I find this to be a good reward for my loyalty and I always accrue Hertz points, unless another company is markedly cheaper or has a monster bonus to an airline partner.

There s a new award chart and a new set of blackout dates for standard awards (per city, for peak periods, for example, labor day, memorial day, etc are peak periods in NYC, In Hawaii, Presidents week, a big block of dates in the summer and Dec 15 31 are blackout dates for standard awards.) They have anytime awards that can be used during the blackout dates.
David- thats interesting because I saw my balance increase too. Thats a shame about the blackout vacation rentals maui dates- I never once had an issue redeeming points at the lowest levels. I guess all good things must come to an end
@Eric- no. Where did you see that you would be charged $60 in September? Normally the signup fee is $60 but they are waiving it until then. Membership is good for a year and most likely they will renew you for free, though I m not really sure if thats going to change.
I suspect it depends on how Hertz chooses to interpret until , which can mean either that you get a full membership for free if you sign up before vacation rentals maui 9/30 or that you get it for free until 9/30 at which point they charge you. I ll be calling and checking in mid-September.
@Maury- where do you see anything stating you have to rent a car? All I see is 500 bonus points will be provided to member's account after successfully registering for the promotion, enough points to redeem for a free non-peak weekend rental day.
With the extra 100 points per day PLUS rental points for rental charges, vacation rentals maui I punched in for rental from ATL airport for weekly vacation rentals maui rate using pc code-158752 (received Hertz Email) and got rate for full size Impala for $263.00 for entire week. That is total charge. Rav 4 rate is $162.00 prepay for one week !
For me, this works well by taking MARTA to airport for flight out and picking up rental on return to avoid train and use over July 4th for a week and returning after for another flight out after holiday. Possibly use for beach trip ?
763 points +500 bonus points + 1200 points I already vacation rentals maui have = 4 days work week rental in some of the less frequented airport locations I must rent from. Haven t used Hertz much in past due to high rates, but have noticed they are becoming competitive on rates and discounts lately. Thanks again.
Addendum the above pc code (158752-$100 off week) is for small thru midsize. Code 158745 works for same discount vacation rentals maui on premium vehicles. vacation rentals maui I would advise if Amex Platinum and interested, to reserve with non premium code and possibly be offered premium upgrade for free if location inventory is depleted or late returning. ((was offered vacation rentals maui a Escalade in West Palm for two days when no full size available))
TPG: I signed up for this offer two days ago and nothing showed up in my account. I have the Hertz membership through my Amex Plat. I called Hertz customer service and a CSR told me that in order to get the 500 points you need to pay for a rental then it will show up in the account.
I registered for the promo and got the message about getting 500 points, but the points have not actually vacation rentals maui posted. I was signed up for the hertz gold through Amex platinum, but had never rented vacation rentals maui a car. Was going to use for upcoming trip, so disappointed it s not working. Is anyone actually getting the points posted, or does everyone think they re getting the points because of the message that pops up??
I just did this with the Amex Plat. When I added in the 28 hour Plat Amex Hertz perk I got my business rental tomorrow down by $60 in BWI tomorrow. That alone was worth it and the points are just icing on the cake.
Also worth mention that you can exchange Hertz points for FF miles with a handful of programs. It is a poor value though at 600 Hertz Points = 500 miles but can be handy for last minute award ticket needs if you are short.
A few things to keep in mind from the T C of the website you only accrue points for eligible dollars spent so most likely that means that taxes, etc don t count and it s only on the base rate. Also per the T Cs 1, be careful on using promo codes because that could negate the 100 point bonus.
For the National faithful, such as myself, National doesn t allow free days to be redeemed (at all) for locations that they consider to be Premium and Manhattan is considered to be premium. Therefore, if you live in New York City, the only place that you can redeem free rentals is by going to JFK/ LaGuardia where a cab fare would negate most of the reward not to mention the inconvenience. vacation rentals maui I LOVE National and choosing my own car, but redemptions are disappointing which is why I may go back to Hertz for a while to rack up a few free days quickly that I love to use on beach weekends!
i talked to the online help lady and she said that it WILL take a month to receive it, when i told her that it CLEARLY states on the ad that the points will be in your account the moment that you sign up.
@Jens- I highly doubt everyone will be auto-charged $60 in September. vacation rentals maui Even if you are for some reason I m sure you can cancel. I wouldn t worry too much about it, though I can t guarantee what will happen since I don t work for Hertz- vacation rentals maui thats just my opinion
One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to get the Amex Platinum, Business Platinum and Mercedes-Benz vacation rentals maui Platinum cards is the hefty $450 annual fee…which is generally vacation rentals maui not waived the first... read more
