The fastest way for you to find out is to call Hertz in Australia. The telephone number for Hertz #1 Gold is 1800 500 023. ;)
It's doubtful, but if Hertz are willing to Status Match? - Please let us know! Then, it may be similar to an airline status match you have to fax them your rental history and possibly invoices from last year. Feeding over 30 pages of invoices into a fax may take a while. :D
In Australia the number of rentals needed for *5 is 10/year, and for PC it is 30/year. :)

My Amex card got me Gold so that may be a simple option too.

Betty,
Welcome to the Hertz Board. :)
What you got was an offer for Hertz #1 Gold membership waiving the $50 fee.
Hertz#1 Gold is the frequent renter program name, and Gold is the lowest status level (less than 10 rentals per year), Five Star (more than 10 rentals per year), Presidents Circle (More than 30/40 rentals per year, depending on home address country). There is also Platinum Hertz membership available by invitation only to people who's company spends more than $250,000 USD per year with Hertz.
The original poster is asking to status match from Sixt Platinum to Presidents Circle status within the Hertz #1 Gold program.
BTW My LH SEN card gave me complementary Sixt Platinum status, that I never used. :p

I'm not sure that 250k figure is necessarily correct....I worked there for a couple of years and was never really told anything that direct (but it seemed to be 100k-250k, so it may very well be true and just not shared often with employees.) Also, to clarify, it was offered to "key decision makers" of these companies: usually board members, CEOs, VPs or the like, depending on the company
