I just booked via UA for Hertz and I input my Gold # in the spot provided, as well as a coupon code.
Everything transferred fine to Hertz and I received a confirmation from both UA and Hertz.
Since I had an issue earlier this year with getting UA miles instead of the Hertz points I prefer, I decided to call.
Seems that the reservation made via the UA website, even though it had my Hertz # was showing I was to receive UA miles. Even though my profile is set for Hertz points.
The rep changed it while I was on the phone.
So either the above post isn't correct, or something has changed, or the rep was wrong - take a pick
Heads up if you book via UA but want Hertz points. You may have to call no matter what is defaulted in your profile.

Is this United promotion saying that as a 1K, if I book a midsize or higher, the total points awarded will be 1250 (1K) + 1500 (promotion) = 2750?

On the phone with a MileagePlus service representative somewhere in India...only got credit 500 miles for my rental in DEN (even though as a Platinum, I should earn 1,250). Also claiming that the current promotion where you get an extra 1,500 miles does not post for 6-8 weeks. Debating whether I should tough this one out, HUACA, or try calling when I might get someone based in the U.S. who can understand what I am saying.

I rented a car last week in Kansas City. As a Silver, I should get 1000 miles. I noticed only 500 miles posted to my account. I called United for the extra 500 miles and they said I needed to call Hertz. I called Hertz and they said I needed to email United. I emailed United and they said I needed to email Hertz. The Hertz email form had no open comments section, so they must have thought I received no miles at all. I could not clarify I was just seeking the bonus miles. Hertz just emailed back this morning saying the 500 standard miles were already put in my account.
Long story short, I do not as of yet have the additional 500 bonus miles. And it is clear nobody at either United or Hertz was trained on this program.

At 2750 per rental for platinum and 1K members this is an interesting way to build up miles. If you can find cheap, daily car rentals you could rack up a ton of miles. If I had a the time I could do 36 rentals and get almost 100k miles. Cost would be around $1000 at a local hertz location.

I love the idea... should see if I can do some multiple rentals in the coming weeks.

The multiple rental idea is a smart one.
I do wonder if you could (theoretically) take a 3-day trip and make a return trip / pickup trip every single day - would that be a way of running up the mileage account without running afoul of any rules (aside from a dirty / quizzical look)?

Are you sure this is the case? Here is a copy and paste from the FAQs (bolding mine):
"Earning MileagePlus miles with Hertz is easy; members just need to add their MileagePlus number to their car rental reservation when they book through united.com, Hertz.com, a travel agency or any other channel. Miles can be earned on car rentals picked up at any airport or off-airport location."
"Earning MileagePlus miles with Hertz is easy; members just need to add their MileagePlus number to their car rental reservation when they book through united.com, Hertz.com, a travel agency or any other channel. Miles can be earned on car rentals picked up at any airport or off-airport location."
If I go directly to the Hertz and use the AAA(auto club) CDP, I get to save $20 on my three day rental by using "pay now" option. Booking the same exact car through United.com doesn't give me the pay now option however gives me 1,500 bonus miles.
I just want to be sure that as chase Mileageplus card member I at get the 750 miles since my Hertz Rewards membership has my Mileageplus and AAdvantage numbers.
