Apart from the points, of course I hope for a upgrade (booked EDMR, e.g. VW Polo). Any experience with PMI treatment of Platinums ?
What you should do is put your HH number in the field called Order No. preceeded by HH. The result looking like HH<your number>. This is the way a (knowing) Sixt agent has to do it, but they quite often screw it up.
If it's in the comment field, it requires an active interference by an agent transferring your number to the other field in the correct way. Chances are may be 50% that it works out. I'd suggest, you cancel your reservation online and make a new one in the way I pointed out above.
I did it like this hundreds of times and it always works. And yes, this is sufficient also to get the first rental bonus.
Your chances are very high to get your Platinum u/g. Sixt is very good at that.
