So my default is to use my own CDP, get the Business Rewards certs, use them, etc.
As far as I can tell, days on which you redeem the Business Rewards certs also count towards earning new ones, which is a nice bonus.

New question. My employer gave me some Hertz Earned Free Rental Day certificates. Am I able to apply these to an existing pre-paid reservation? I made the reservation using the AMEX CDP, so it won't match my employer's CDP. Would that be a problem?
Just wondering if I can show up with these certs and have free days deducted. I suppose it's probably not that easy, though
If not, I guess I'll just have to cancel the pre-paid reservation and eat the $50 cancelation fee in order to use these free days. It'll be worth it, because this is for a Hawaii rental.

Hertz CDP: 111111
PC Code: 55555X7
If you did this correctly, then you should see a credit for the entire amount of the base rental cost something like this:
Time and Mileage: $450
Promotional coupon: -$450
You'd only be left to pay the taxes and fees, but in almost all cases, they will be inflated on the quote and you'll pay less (often much less) than what it says there.
You can reserve up to a premium car for the same cost, so you might as well do that. Lastly, you can skip the counter if you're Hertz Gold (recommended) since you don't have to hand in the certificates until you return the car.

No, they cannot be used on a prepaid reservation. Assuming these say "Business Rewards" at the top, the rental must be pay-at-counter in order to use them. You would make a new reservation using the CDP on the certificate and in the PC code field, you'd enter the PC code on the back of the certificate. If the rental is for more than one day, then you would enter the PC code along with the letter X and then the number of days (up to 7 max). So for example, if your company's Hertz CDP was 111111 and the PC code on the back of the certificate was 55555 and you wanted to rent for 7 days you'd enter:
Hertz CDP: 111111
PC Code: 55555X7
