In mid October last year we posted a deal where you could get free Hertz gold plus rewards president circle status by entering a code. In the last few days a lot of readers that entered the code are now seeing their status finally update. Status match is a real and relatively easy thing to do with car rental agencies. I like to use StatusMatcher to see what people have been able to successfully do. Here’s what to do and what to expect when you’re status matching:
- Enterprise. Use the online status match tool. You should receive Enterprise Plus Platinum.
- National. Use the online status match tool. You should receive Executive Elite.
- Avis. Send an e-mail to [email protected]. You should receive Avis Preferred Plus Premium status, they will also consider a to President Club status by calling in after the initial match is done.
- Europcar Privilege. Send an e-mail to [email protected]. You should receive Europcar Privilege Elite.
It might be wise to only match when you actually need the status or leave one unmatched. If you leave one unmatched you could match it in six months time, then in another six months time match back to President’s Club and keep the cycle going (e.g basically top tier status indefinitely).
When you’re e-mailing in you’ll want to send in the printable card along with the status you want to be matched to. If you did the deal and aren’t seeing your updated status, make sure you’re checking on desktop not mobile. Also for some reason it’s has just not worked/updated for some people.
If you missed out on the deal even though the landing page isn’t working anymore, entering the code is. You might still have to wait a long time to actually get your status and maybe you’ll never get it but never hurts to try. If you have a World Elite Mastercard you should be able to get President Circle status by e-mailing Hertz and adding the following CDP:Â 1795034. More discussion of this here.
