They already reference the partnership and mention that the form will be available this month.

UA--Hertz Presidential Circle
I didn't see where or if this was posted, and since it took me a few calls to get the correct info as Hertz pointed to United, and United said to call Hertz, I thought I would post the link.
Anyways to enroll in the new United Mileage Plus benefits of Hertz Presidential Circle, you can enroll here.
http://united.com/hertzstatus
It asks a few questions to determine eligibility, and also for your current Hertz number if you have one.

Just submitted mine. FWIW, my Hertz status was already PC, though there's no way in heck I qualify this year (11 rentals, maybe $1400 in spend)--nor was there last year or the year before. I almost always have 10-16 rentals, and have been PC for 4 years running now.
I had always assumed UA and Hertz were sharing info, and in several of those years, Hertz offered UA Plat/1K 5* status, which I already qualify for, and Hertz (logically) was bumping me 1 level due to that. That, or they figured they could pimp out Plat status to me via upsell for $999 (not worth it, IMHO).
Anyway, PC isn't anything special, but it's better than a stick in the eye.

Should someone adjust the wiki to indicate that the mileage bonuses apply only when the UA CDP is used, which creates a rental rate far higher than the value of the extra bonus miles for almost all Hertz clients? It seems to me this is key to the entire issue, and if a casual reader doesn't appreciate this, he/she is wasting a lot of time.

Just got an email from DL about an exclusive offer they have with Hertz. 500 miles base plus 200 miles for each day and savings of up to 40% on the rental rate.
Hmmm, perhaps Hertz' definition of exclusive is not totally in line with UA's.
Anyone else get this email?

That is great info if accurate - I'm UA 1K and I have a good CDP that I rarely use with Hertz as I have better ones with other Car Rental companies. However if I have to use a crappy UA CDP code to get the miles, renting from Hertz for me remains a last resort. How disappointing.

I started talking about this in another thread and was directed here...
I couldn't sit here and read the 12 pages of conversation that have taken place thus far so I really don't know where the majority of opinions stand as far as being switched from AVIS to HERTZ.
Personally, I think this is a huge downgrade to our Presidential Card benefits.
With AVIS, the deal was, you rent a (I believe) a mid-sized vehicle and you got upgraded two class vehicles.
I always rented a large a mid-sized and got a Cadillac, BMW or Lincoln each and every time.
You can't get luxury upgrades with this new Hertz deal.
And, if I read correctly, the deal only calls for one class upgrade with a full-size being the max you can upgrade to.
Very disappointed in these changes.

NJRonbo, you are spot on with the consensus here. Just keep using AVIS and ignore the Hertz noise. Our Presidential Plus benefit is being honored by AVIS this year and they are creating a new program, so we can see what it looks like when that time comes.
