Car rental company Hertz is currently running a promotion for Senator members of Lufthansa’s Miles & More frequent flyer scheme. If you hold a Senator status card, you will be instantly given President’s Circle status in the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards programme.

Now here is the clue. The promotion page is open and can be accessed by anyone. Hertz does not even require you to submit proof of your Lufthansa Senator status. If you are an existing Hertz Gold Plus Rewards member, all you have to do to be upgraded to top tier President’s Circle status is to update your profile with the CDP corresponding to this promotion, CDP 501032. 

If you are not yet a Hertz Gold Plus Rewards member, simply sign up on the promotion page. Make sure you include the CDP number.

See the promotion page here for further details. Use Google translate — it’s in German — but again there are no terms & conditions visible suggesting this offer is restricted to German residents.

You must register for Hertz Gold Rewards or update your existing account with the CDP number between 1 and 31 October 2017 in order to benefit from this offer. Your status will be valid for 12 months.

What will President’s Circle status get you?

Bottom line

Who wouldn’t want top tier status with a car rental company the easy way?

P.S.: Elite members of Le Club Accorhotels, the loyalty scheme behind Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure, Ibis, etc., can also get an instant upgrade to elite status in Hertz Gold Plus Rewards. Le Club Accor Gold members will receive Five Star status with Hertz (see here, add to your profile CPD 826777). Le Club Accor Platinum members will receive President’s status with Hertz (see here, add to your profile CDP 826680). Your account will be upgraded within 14 days of adding the CDP to your profile.
