I have one rental that's missing the 1500-mile online booking credit (the premier bonus showed up a couple of days after the rental credit, which seems normal). I did call Hertz to extend the rental; I wonder if that may have messed up their system somehow.
I have a couple of Hertz rentals booked in September; if they're not willing to post the full promotional miles, I may well book with National instead.
Edit:
I scanned my receipt and I noticed that I'd been given 275 Hertz points on the rental in question, in addition to the MP miles (excepting the booking bonus, that is). It's listed as an "activation bonus" in my Hertz history, and I did pay the FF surcharge on the rental, but perhaps that caused this problem. I've unchecked the "Accept Gold Plus points" checkbox, and I'll see if my next rental credits properly.

This was Hertz customer service, I take it? How did you initiate contact?

I used this e-mail address: [email protected]
and I think perhaps what did the trick was the wording:
"I have double checked my original reservation, which I have saved, which shows I booked correctly via the United.com website. I can provide a copy of the original reservation to show that it was booked in accordance with the promotion rules".
Or maybe I got a smarter-than-your-average-agent on the other side of the computer, who was actually competent enough to do the job.
Or the points fairy was looking upon me favorably?

who knows.

I have another reservation pending for this weekend, and I had to add the PC via hertz.com as the rates had gone up markedly since I booked it. The website seems to have accepted it (without changing the price I reserved originally), but I guess the proof will be in the pudding.

Extended now to the end of the year. They might as well make it an official feature...this offer will have been outstanding for more than a year. Basically like an old Jos A. Bank sale at this point

Booked several more o these just in the last couple days all the way into December. This has been a nice little windfall of unexpected miles... definitely a huge value over the Hertz pesos I would otherwise have received.

Are all of you returning to the same location?
I've looked at a couple rentals for LAN-GRR and, GRR-DTW, and DTW-FNT, and having a different dropoff point almost triples the rates for me.
If I can go in and out of the same airpor though, like I said earlier, it's a good value to me.

I do know that GRR, AZO, DTW, LAN and a couple other smaller airports have Hertz sister locations, which do not charge extra if you pick up at one of those locations and drop off at another. This works for my CDP, but I am not sure that it would work for the UA promotion.... may be worth a phone call, but I have never seen a good rate with the UA promo for returning to a different location, even between the sister airport locations for Hertz.

Email just received - MP credit card holders will get an additional 3,000 miles for two reservations between now and end of the year. Same promo code, doesn't say anything about date reservation was made (I already have 3 in the books during this time)...so thanks for the extra 6,000 miles!

I'm glad I saw this. I actually have two rentals (personal) scheduled. One was booked correctly for the bonus, and one was not. I cancelled the one that was not and re-booked. It actually came out less than the original booking, and I'll get the bonus!
Too bad I can't book my business travel this way as well!

I booked three award tix from EWR-ASE over Christmas break a month or so ago for 75k miles total. This little perk is going to come close to earning ALL of that by year end.
This couldn't be more tailor-made for my business. I am in/out in 1 or 2 day rentals all the time.

Does "standard" qualify as mid-size or larger?
