:cool: Oh well.. It would have been a nice bonus since I usually end up returning a car right after a 400-ish mile trip and always use the gas option anyways

My LIS was tripled. Points are typically based off the base rental plus extras, excluding any taxes/facility fees.

hmm... hopefully my gas prepayment gets triple points as well

My birthday bonus tripled. Just got 1396 points for a $142.80 base rate - after discounts before taxes & fees - at FLL. I had no extras for my 7 day rental.

I was expecting not to get my triple points like usual, but looks like I got my triple points from my last couple rentals.

This. Confirmed no bonus auto-posts unless over 48 hours "out". I had 5 rentals in February and only the one that was "out" for over 48 hours automatically posted. Of the remaining 4 rentals:
  • 1 rental for 1 day 2 hours (no bonus per promo T&C)
  • 3 rentals all for over 1 day + 4 hours but under 48 hours (shows on receipt as 2 days, no extra hours)

Live chat agent told me to call Gold Plus service to request adjustment at 1-888-999-4900 - 7A-7P M-F.

I got triple points for FEB for the multi month rental car I currently have.
Picked the car up in JAN and signed up for the promotion afterwards.

Nice :D

I did this last night and was able to get an immediate corrected posting to my account by the Gold Plus desk. I had two two-day rentals of >48 hours.

Just called and was told that the official Hertz position was "Minimum of 48 hours keep". I pointed out my receipts all say "2 days" and was told that what was charged and the promo terms are separate issues. I quoted promo terms of "Minimum 2 day rental" says nothing about 48 hours, and again, my receipts say "2 days" of rental. She wasn't budging; she also said that Hertz is going to issue a statement to clarify terms going forward. :td:

Hang up, call back, got a nice lady who was able to credit me points for the last of the 3 missing rentals. Apparently I made the first 2 reservations in late January before I had registered for the promo. She quoted exact dates that I made the reservations that sounded plausible, so I couldn't dispute it further. I can accept that (even though I think it is stupid to make me cancel and re-create reservations).

Will be interesting to see if they give me credit for the car I have right now that I will have kept for 45 hours when I turn it in tomorrow.

Anyway - Moral: hang up, call back.

That is next level lucky!

I am earning so many GP due to this promo and extending rentals left and right with cheap extension rates... Only spending $200 to earn enough for a free day that usually costs around $130 is amazing value, especially when you need to rent anyways. Also nice driving every different car make/model and knowing what you like/dislike

<48hr rental (but 2 day charge.)
No auto "triple."
Sent an email and agent manually adjusted it with an apology.
Thanks Hertz!

Non-USA
 
I saw this promo on the UK website, but there is no registration for Non-US, as I tried the link, but it said US only.

Anyone have experience of this i.e non-US is auto enrolled ?

My trips are next week, so suppose I could find out then, but better to know before hand.
