Amex Platinum 4 hour grace period
I have some forthcoming trip and I would like to take advantage of Amex Platinum 4 hour grace period with Hertz. But what I need to do to get the grace period? I've tried booking with amex platinum cdp 211762 (is it right?) online but it does not acknowledge the additional 3 hours at all (treated as another day). Must I join the gold plus reward club first? (any fee?)
thanks
thanks

To receive these benefits simply quote your #1 Club Gold membership number at the time of reservation. Once enrolled, the special Hertz discount programme number, 633306, should be automatically entered into your profile.
I also don't think the 4 hour grace period would be shown on your booking confirmation
Hopefully shows on your rental contract when you get the car

It shows on the booking confirmation, some locations might not be eligible though

Assuming you are eligible to use the CDP 211762 (Amex Platinum EMEA) and it is a location where the 4 hour grace applies, all you need to do is to put the return time as 4 hours after the pickup time when making the booking
e.g. pickup 10 July 13:00 , return 11 July 17:00 , the website will automatically calculate it as a 1 day rental rather than treat it as 2 days

Omm, what location qualifies? I just joined the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards using Amex Platinum CDP, and did a few searches around some of places I am familiar with (tried sfo / sea / hnl / ..) for a 28 hr booking, but all are treated as 2 days pricing instead of 1 day?

Yes, that has caught me, too. Just because Hertz doesn't charge another day it doesn't mean they can waive the airport's facility fee and other similar jurisdictional fees/taxes.

Experience outside the US?
Hello.
Do any FTers have recent experience with the US American Express Platinum CDP grace period benefit outside the US? I'm looking at taking advantage of the benefit on an upcoming rental in Norway, but wasn't sure whether I should expect the benefit to work there.
Cheers,
LBBZman

I can't find any current documentation about this benefit on either the US Hertz or US American Express websites. Is this still an official benefit?

When I put in the dummy booking for 27 hours, an extra day is quoted. So I assume I'll be charged the extra day. Will I have any recourse with Hertz in Norway? I know they're a franchise country, so I don't necessarily have the same expectations as in the US.
