Earn AS miles through Hertz
I was stumbling around trying to see if I should burn $25 on 500 AS MP miles or $30 on 150 Hertz points from E-Rewards and found out you can earn miles from your Hertz reservation including a 6-month retroactive form you can fill out online.
Good list of other airlines: https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/partn...on=globNav_8_1 and "hotels": https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/partn...on=globNav_8_1 |
The Hertz partnership is weird. I generally only get ~50 miles credited and there is usually a ~$3 “airline points” fee tacked onto my reservation. |
Also have a look at as.com for the Mileage Plan rental car partners and what you can earn:
https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...ental-partners For Hertz: Earn 50 miles per rental day on rentals of one to four days, or 500 miles per rental on rentals of five or more days, on qualifying rentals at participating locations.

I linked my Alaska acct to my Budget acct and the last few rentals I got 200 bonus miles.
Sure enough there's some vague tax starting with "FTP SR" on each bill for $3. A quick search seems to confirm that is a "tax on rewards points earned"... really??? At least it comes out to 1.5 CPM |
Most (maybe all?) the car rental companies charge a daily fee, $1-$1.50 usually, if you elect to earn frequent flyer miles on the rental. Makes sense if there is a nice bonus attached, but not so much if you are earning 50 miles on the entire rental.

If you retrocredit miles, will you also get retroactively charged the $3?
|
@jackal has more information, but IIRC international carriers avoid the surcharge. Think it's to cover the 7.5% tax from the DOT.
I stick with points myself. |

I don't think you can retro-credit miles. I have tried and always get a response back such as "your rental was not eligible."

For Marriott, I ended up getting 1,250 points.
Two 500 bonus points (should have received only one) And then I got 250 bonus points for my stay in San Diego from the hotel, at least that what I'm assuming For Alaska Airlines nothing yet, not even an email confirming my retroactive credit. |
