Hmm, well all may not be lost. Sometimes a PC code which won't book through Hertz.com direct will book through the Sabre GDS. You could try tracking the reservation made with your corp CDP through us and we'll run it against all the PC codes in our db to see if we can get anything to "stick". Might be worth 2 min of your time to check -- autoslash.com/track.
