I don't think there are any World Elite cards with no annual fee.

The Presidents Circle benefits?

So your MC Elite Card gave cdp CDP 1795034 and the upgrade to the President's Circle.
The benefits ?
Suppose your a 5 Star Gold Member.
Youŕe using the AMEX FB Gold CC CDP
PC 192021 gives you some extra discount
Who gets the better deal ?

I dont know that you cant use another CDP when booking. I just put it in my profile along with my elite master card in my profile and the status changed a week later....

On further searching it looks like the Capital One Savor card is a no-AF World Elite card. However, I'm not sure I can justify it when I already have the CSR, especially when I'll have to unfreeze all three bureaus (thanks, Equifax). I'll search some more, I suppose.

You can use different CDP when booking. You don't even need MC Elite card to add CDP to your profile. Who know how long this promo will last given lots of folks are going to make this CDP Preferred once it hit the blogs.

Huh. I just added that CDP to mine without adding a World Elite MC so we'll see how that goes. If it works, I saved myself a bunch of HPs and unfreeze/freeze costs. ^ (Though maybe I'll eventually get one anyway if a good enough offer comes.)

Yep, but not sure it is a big deal. From my understanding, it is often not much of a benefit to be Presidents Circle. Will find out I guess.

It's now been a week since I added the World Elite CDP as primary and I haven't noticed anything different with my Hertz account. Maybe they fixed the glitch for US accounts, or actually requires a World Elite MC in one's profile after all?

Same.. still showing as five star here. I actually have a WE MC in my profile that's been in there for years. Might be fixed.

My account hasn't been updated, either. And my WE MC has been in my profile for years.

PC has a slightly better selection of cars to choose from and a few extra bonus points. And, $25/day for the premium UPG'd vehicles vs $35/day regularly.
Maybe CS will be a little easier to deal with when the promo bonuses don't post and they try to wiggle out of posting the points. Sept promo 1100 pts for 2 rentals required 3 emails this time to finally get the points to post.

That benefit only applies if you frequently use Ultimate Choice locations, which are only at some major airports.

Increasingly, those airports are less and less "major": https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/produ...ate_choice.jsp
