Transfer points to Frequent Flyer number?
Hi. I am new to Hertz and would appreciate some feedback from the Hertz experts.
Am I able to transfer points earned on my account to my frequent flyer number, or do I have to change my profile before the rental.?

Yes, you can to certain programs. It's not a very good deal, and they say it can take up to 8 weeks for the points to transfer, but it's possible.
Login to your Hertz Gold Rewards account and click on My Account at the top, then Rewards Account Activity, then click on the last option on the right which is Exchange my Points:

Don't transfer unless you have absolutely no way to use Hertz points.

So let me rephrase this: it's the worst deal/idea ever. The Gold Points are worth at least 10c cents per and as much as 15 cents per when used correctly. You get the premium level car for just the fees and taxes, which can be substantial especially at EWR and a few other airport locations. Airline miles are worth 1 cent if you're lucky, so you lose too much. Don't even consider the hotel points. Use them.

Really, if you're only going to be renting once a year, I'd credit to a FFP. Yup, there will be a fee to get airline miles (offsets the taxes Hertz pays to buy the miles), although it's small.

So one rental is probably close to a free weekend award already. And points don't expire as long as activity within 24m.
Do hotels (SPG, Marriot) count as a 'U.S. and Canadian Frequent Flyer program' ?
Otherwise, I suppose I can credit them to Asia Miles to avoid $1/day.

Once a year, but always in the duration of 5-7 days minimum each time.
