I enrolled in National's program and received Executive Elite status via my Platinum card benefits. Once confirmed, I then emailed Hertz with my National electronic "membership card" and asked for a status match to Hertz President's Circle, which Hertz granted for 14 months.
(My first rental (at IAH) I paid $99 for a three day weekend mid-size car and chose a Chrysler 300 for the same rate.)
Thanks for the instructions.
Strangely, on my Platinum card benefits page, it only lists Emerald Club Executive status as a benefit, not Executive Elite status. (And when I clicked through to gain the status, I only got Executive status at National.) Is this a benefit downgrade since you signed up for all this, or am I missing something critical?
Thanks,
