I just don't understand how this works for Hertz or UA. I'm renting a car tomorrow for $38. I'll collect 5750 miles, conservatively valued at $86. Or looking at it another way, UA is selling the miles for about 1/2 cent and throwing in a free car rental. I don't get it.

Eight weeks is a long time, something is certainly wrong. Before you file a credit card dispute have you contacted Hertz? When I was missing the 3,000 miles for 2 reservations I contacted them and it only took a few days to get the miles into my account. And have you checked your reservation confirmation to make sure that you actually had the CDP and PC codes for this promotion in your reservation?

Guys. Thanks for tips and just heads up to all. If you do much as TOUCH the initial rental search or booking it defaults to another CDP and PC gets wiped. For me it defaults to Amex plat so o had to be vigilant before each car pickup.
Has anyone here done bookings literally just out and back in immediately, rinse and repeat? I did 2x per day and that was the extent for me.

Just tried doing something - since bookings are only airport to airport, I did DTW-DTW, then went to Hertz.com and changed the reservation to a local edition.
When I booked on hertz.com once before without united.com but using the CDP and PC, I didn't get the united.com booking bonus - so am trying this to see if I get all the miles. Anyone have experience, or is there a data point in this thread on how to get this to work when one/both cities aren't an airport?

My experience has been pretty good( may have to call United for the missing Hertz Bonus may be 10% of the time). Everything else post quite on-time. (usually 2-3 weeks, sometimes faster). You do have to make sure that the CDP and PC number is the one that is in your reservation. (advised by the Hertz Employee when I returned my car) and you have to book on united.com the get the united.com bonus. Using Hertz.com is a bit tricky and I didn't want to deal with it since it offered me the same rates regardless which site I went to utilizing the same CDP/PC

I had several rentals where some bonuses never posted. Hertz told me that the problem is due to not having the proper CDP and/or PC on the reservation. This was puzzling since I made all reservations from united.com and the CDP and PC were always pre-filled. I would have been more likely to forget to enter my Hertz member number, though that seems to have never happened.
I've now figured out that PC code on reservations made on united.com are not consistently sent to Hertz. I have been able to replicate cases where the initial united.com reservation screen shows the CDP and PC, but at least one of the codes is not sent to Hertz when the reservation is completed. The PC code is the one usually missing, but I've also replicated where CDP or both are missing. Through the MPSC, I've offered to help their web team replicate the problem so that it can be fixed, but the MPSC has ignored my offers.
Most of the missing bonus miles have been manually credited (I've had about two dozen rentals that had missing miles, out of 3-4 dozen rentals), though it took months to resolve some of them, and hours of documentation from my end. There are a couple of credits still missing, and when I inquired about fixing the last two, they said they would not make any more "exceptions" for me.

FWIW, without the PC, the rates are a couple dollars cheaper, and maybe UA doesn't have to give out miles then, and that is the reason? Or probably just a bug that isn't worth fixing from their perspective.

Here's a misc data point. I've noticed you can keep the United.com booking bonus as long as your confirmation number stays the same. Changing DTW-DTW to DTW-local edition allowed me (rather, it did) to keep the same confirmation. I got all the miles. I noticed changing a DTW-DTW reservation to local-local gave me a new confirmation, and I did not get the booking.com bonus (but the rest). So it seems that as long as you book on UA and the conf number stays the same, you're good.

Also, I'm continuing the get the 3,000 summer offer bonus (last rental 11/24). Reading the emails they're sending me, I'm seeing it valid until 1/31/18.

Does anyone know if renting through United and Dollar rent a car do you get the same bonuses? When I use United to make the reservation, Dollar always comes up along with Hertz as I guess they're partners.
Thanks,
Tom
