I was trying to do some math, but was struggling to find the value of a Hertz points (because of differences in day vs weekend vs week, and then airport vs local, and then tax/fees, etc.). But was curious what other people have done in the past, and think about the offer.
IMO horrible rate. 600 Hertz points gets you a free day (variable value). That being said, I think it's reasonable to expect a $50 value for 600pts (i.e. not use points when rates are dirt cheap). I've gone as high as $150 for 550 points - but that was on a weekend in NYC. Even if you considered using points for a $30/day rate, I think you're miles ahead of the United value. (12.5k miles for domestic one way?)
