Thanks for the reply,

the T&C says " Qualification for Five Star membership is a minimum of 10 rentals annually. Annual re-qualification is required, beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of every year"

Does that mean that the eligible rentals for Five Star status is counted in a calender year and the status earned is valid only for that year. so if I earn 5* by October, I can use it only for 3 months and for the next year, I need to re-qualify?

Any Hertz 5* FTers? Does not seems to be a great program
