    Free Hertz #1 Club Gold Membership!
    Hertz has renamed their loyalty program from Hertz #1 Awards to Hertz Gold Plus Rewards (yawn).  But before you stop reading, you should know, that they are running a promotion where you can get: Hertz #1 Club Gold membership allows you to skip the rental line at the airport and go straight to your car, which can save quite a bit of time, and 1 free weekend rental can save you up to, say, $40, depending on where you rent a car.

    You have to be a #1 Club Gold member, before you register to get the 500 free bonus points.

    1)  What If I Am Not a Hertz #1 Club Gold Member?

    Once you are a Hertz #1 Club Gold member, register to get 500 free bonus points which gets you a free car rental for 1 weekend day plus an extra 100 points for each rental day up to September 30, 2011!

    2)  What If I Am a Hertz #1 CLUB Member, But Not A Hertz #1 Club  GOLD Member?

    Once you are a Hertz #1 Club Gold member, register to get 500 free bonus points which gets you a free car rental for 1 weekend day plus an extra 100 points for each rental day up to September 30, 2011!

    3)  What If I Am Already a #1 Club Gold Member Register to get 500 free bonus points which gets you a free car rental for 1 weekend day plus an extra 100 points for each rental day up to September 30, 2011!
    Free Weekend Day Car Rental!
    Black Out Days

    While this is still a pretty good deal, there are blackout days when you need more than 500 points for a weekend day.

    Here is the regular award chart.

    My Experience:

    So far, I have not been able to successfully register for the promotion , because the website is not responding.

    This may be because of the many people trying to register at the same time, and I will try again tomorrow.

    Update: I managed to register successfully!  I called to ask when the 500 bonus points would appear in my account, and was told that it would take 4 weeks. Bottom Line: This is worth the 5 minutes it will take to register for the promotion because you get free Hertz #1 Gold status worth $60 + the time saved by not having to wait at the airport and 1 free weekend rental day which may be worth $40+ for a total value of $100+!

    And is yet another way to have Big Travel with Small Money!
