Great upgrade.

I got a CL500 from Sixt at NCE airport when I hired a 3 series - that was a great upgrade.

I guess at NCE on Cote d´Azur they don´t want to stuck their parking lot with all those cheap mid-size cars and focus on luxury-class, not to frighten all those millionaires :-)

Gret upgrade !!!

In London (city location), as a Sixt Platinum member I got upgraded from the VW Golf I had reserved to a Ford Mondeo. That was the only other automatic they had on the lot.

Is there any way to get com'p do Sixt Plat (or Gold ?). All I really have on the travel front is BA Gold and LHW Leaders Club (ordinary status) ....

I just know of SIXT status match for other rental company status holders and for Lufthansa FTs.

This might help, unfortunately, there does not seem to be an official way for BA G.

;)

Visa Infinite card holder In France, I don't know for the others countries are entitled to get the PLATINUM CARD from SIXT.

Anyone knows if there is a way to get automatic upgrade to the DIAMOND CARD from SIXT ?
I don"t know what is the requirements? Because last years we make a LOTS of rentals and we never get upgrade to the Diamond...
I tried to call the reps in Germany, but they said that they can't give informations on the "top elite status"...

(Un)fortunately, there does not seem to be any way to get into sixt's diamond league, even if you rent 300+ times with them.
Known ways to get into it are:

- get your personal invitation through Mrs. Regine Sixt
- be a Lufti HON Circle member
- call the 'BMW Exclusive' Amex Carbon Credit Card (better known as the 'CO2 Card';) ) your own
- AMEX Centurion/Titanium membership

There's also been an opportunity with 'LHW' LeadingHotelsoftheWorld, but this one has gone for good now...

Don't have an AMEX yet so this sounds interesting - BMW Premium Card Carbon. A BIG "NOT LIKE" in FB terms is paying 350 for a piece of plastic but I guess that is what makes it exclusive ... Now is it worth it is a topic for another discussion...

Well got myself signed up as Sixt Plat easily enough by puting my EK FF number in on the Sixt sign up page and (accidentally !) telling Sixt it was the top grade EK membership. That seemed pretty easy and I now show up as Sixt Plat :)

However, when I come to try and make a booking, the rate I get quoted with my new Plat membership is 25% higher than if I don't put in a number at all. What a nonsense !! :mad:

Sixt Upgrades
 

I'm Sixt Gold only, but quite frequently get an upgrade, maybe every second or third rental.

I just had a reservation for BMW 5 series and got a Mercedes S class.
Nice, very nice!

It (almost) always helps to chat a little with the ladies at the counter.

:D

Good skills Rob.

Where was that..??

As a Platinum customer, the price should be up to 15% cheaper than the public rate. Sixt recently changed the discounts on it's status cards, take a look at my recent thread "New discounts - Sixt Cards and Partner Cards". The new discounts may not have been in place, if you tried to make the booking prior to this recent change.

All of our customers are very important to us, especially our FFlyers. Just as important to us are BA FFlyers, although there is no formal Sixt/BA relationship I'll be more than happy to arrange either a Platinum or Gold card based on your airline status. This is true for all major airlines.

I see you managed to obtain the Platinum status through your EK FF, if you would like to send me a private message with your card number I'll double check that your card is set up correctly. If you still need to book the car I'll be happy to arrange a new quote for you if you would be kind enough to forward the details.

I found the same problem with pricing using plat card, Gary and his colleagues have fixed it and prices are now quite a bit lower

Ok Gary can you please fix my price as when i logo-in useing my Platinum card the price come more if i rent for 1 week or 27 days in Germany. for me the price is more cheap when i book without useing my Platinum card. But i want to use my card with good price so please fix it for me.
