I got 5.5k Hertz points today - I believe this was the first time since 2014 I was lucky with Hertz. ^

35 x 13.2k were sold out in 15min
45 x 5.5k were sold out in 23min
50 x 16.5k were sold out in 33min

It was tough today. I had gotten 7 out of 8 Choice packages and (with my wife's help) got zero today from Hertz.

But that's OK. Honestly, if you play around with National's codes and coupons, you're better off 95% of the time than with these Hertz's packages (I know, because I have Hertz points, but usually use National). I was going to buy them for the 5% time. Like I once went one-way from Fairbanks to Juneau (yes, I put the car on a ferry), and used the points in Australia. But for "normal" USA stuff, National wins almost every time (and the service is better).

Thanks, still haven't seen any Hilton point appearing on my account yet..., hopefully there's still award nights available when the points do come through.

So who's trying for Hyatt today??

I know I will be. Just looking for one package, whichever one that I can grab (well not going for the $700 one but hopefully can grab one of the other three)

Manged to snag the $260 package for Hyatt. Really wanted the $415 one but the computer, well I should say the website almost crashed!! It went from refreshing normal to a crawl right at 1pm so I settled for $260.

I was clicking just to witness the madness. I haven't seen that website get this slow during the entire promotion.

Yes - my clicks would have been pretty significant.

Is anyone still waiting for the Hilton points?

None of the package I purchased has appeared on my hilton account yet, it did say 3-4 weeks but keen to get it soon so I can book a trip for the end of this year.

I have just received my Hilton points overnight, guess they are going through the list manually.

I got (some more) HH points as well. However, on the accounts where I bought 3x30 k each, I only got 1x30k each.
