Amex Adds Top Tier Hertz Status for Platinum Cards

Note: This post was published on November 4, 2022. Card details and benefits may have changed since then.

It’s never exactly been difficult to get Hertz President’s Circle status. It’s a key step in my Car Rental Status Match article.

Beyond the matches available, it’s a feature of the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.

Now, holders of these cards can enroll for complimentary Hertz President’s Circle® status: American Express Platinum Card®, The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, and the American Express Corporate Platinum Card. Enrollment is required. At participating airport locations with Hertz Ultimate Choice, President’s Circle members may choose a car from their tier’s zone when they reserve a mid-size car or larger. Terms apply.

I have had President’s Circle for many years and I do often get some pretty nice cars, like this Jeep Wrangler that I got in Memphis.

Of course, sometimes, the lot is barren or full of lower end cars. You never know.

And of course, there’s always that lottery-like risk of winding up in jail just by choosing to rent a car from Hertz.

Cardmembers can enroll via the Amex website in the Benefits section, as Jonathan notes in the comments.
