More expensive price quoted after logging in - help?

I did a price comparison between getting a quote "as guest" and logging in, and surprise surprise, I got a slightly more expensive quote after I logged into my Hertz Gold account. Both quotes are using the same CDP, dates, pick-up location, etc. This is for a rental in Sydney via hertz.com (I found the prices on hertz.com.au are even more expensive, by at least AUD10-20...).

Yes, the difference is small (~AUD1.20), but how can it be more expensive just because I logged into my account?
