SW credit card on Hertz rental earns 600 RR for 1-2 days?
Am I correct that if I use the SW CC on Hertz, I earn the following RR points:
Hertz600 (1-2 day rentals), 1,200 (3-6 day rentals), 2,400 (7+ day rentals)
Just paying for Hertz will earn me that many points? Anyone experienced with it - how long will it take to see the points?

As far as how long it takes, who knows. I've gotten them in as little as a week and other times I've had to call multiple times only to get them 2 months later. It's not worth it IMO.
If you use a RR credit card you will get points for that. Those points are based solely on the amount you charge.

The RR points you're talking about have nothing to do with the credit card you use. These are a flat rate and based on how many days you rent the car. If you look at the fine print you will see that there is a surcharge that might be a couple bucks a day. Maybe more, maybe less. It's been a while so I can't really remember. It's different for every car rental company.

Yep, it's just like electing to take airline miles in lieu of hotel points at some chains. Be prepared to follow up - in my experience, rental points rarely post automatically or easily. Can't remember about Hertz specifically, just know it was almost always a hassle..

I have had better luck-I have not had Hertz points fail to post from Hertz. I believe they typically post on a Tuesday within a week or 2 after the rental
