Hertz - Hertz #1 Gold Club - Free Voucher for every ten rentals

I got my first four free day vouchers and I am deeply disappointed about that crap.

On the website it says that a Five Star or a President's Circle Member gets a voucher for a free rental day for every ten rentals. That sounds nice.

When I got my first vouchers, I found many restrictions. The most severe restrictions amongst them:
- Valid for one day if one rents at least two days
- Valid for standard rates only

Huuuuu? I am being ripped off by Hertz? Why do I get vouchers with restrictions? Is this how it should be?

Such vouchers are completely useless to me because the prices are way too high and because I hardly every need a car for more than 24 hours.

Voucher? what? where? how?

As far as I know, Hertz changed the one-free-day-voucher-every-10-rentals scheme to 600 magic Hertz points sometime within the past year (at least for Hertz #1 Gold Five Star members.... what a mouthful).

Is there a different bonus system for a different program or?

??? On their websites it still says A free rental day voucher after 10 rentals (Source: https://www.hertz.co.uk/rentacar/emember/join/overview.do?learnMore=presidentsCircle, 30.10.2009)

I believe the 600 points are given if you chose to collect Hertz points. I, on the other hand, collect airline miles.

To come back to my question: Am I being ripped off by Hertz or is the voucher really only valid if I rent at least two days?

What would the value of such a voucher be if I trade it on CC?

Every 15 rentals, not 10 at least in US.

In Europe they offer a voucher for every 10 rentals

Used to be 1 per 7 rentals in Canada... no idea what it is now. I seem to never get them...

Thank you, guys that you discuss about the numbers and points but this does not answer my question at all :confused:

That said, I have no idea what kind of voucher you're getting. The old vouchers I used to get for free rental days were relatively unrestricted; I've never had a problem using them at all, though I never tried over key holidays. The 600 points I get now are great because I usually rent in Manhattan on a weekend, when I get a free weekend day certificate for only 500 points (vs. free weekday for 600). I use them all the time. I just used one today on a one-day rental. A weekend rental day in Manhattan typically costs $80-120 for a mid or full-sized.

Well, that's probably part of the problem. You're not even participating in their loyalty program.

That's irrelevant at least in US. I collect miles but every 15 rentals i still get 600 pts added to my account.
I am not aware of any free day voucher rewards in US but OP did not specify his country so it's hard to comment.
