Hertz - Free Day certificates & blackout periods

According to the Hertz site,

https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/emember/join/index.jsp?targetPage=clubsBenefitsView.jsp&contentPage=sumGoldbenefits.jsp#

"Free Rental Day Certificate after every 15 rentals - can be combined and used on blackout dates with a minimal rental period required. "

It mentions, as PC members, that we can use the free day coupons on blackout periods, and I've tried doing so but it never seems to work during the blackout dates (trying to book for 4 days during the holidays) - has anyone been able to make those certificates work on those days (as PCs)?

I wish my company wouldn't block us from getting these certs. :mad: Probably close to 60-75 rentals at this point, so I could sure use a few free days. :D

It may be helpful if you call...and potentially talk to a supervisor if you need to...

I'm a lowly 5* with Hertz & tried booking a car using free day certs in LAS when they weren't supposed to be blacked out, but they were - Hertz corporate forced it through for me & took care of everything...
