I noticed a flyer in my Diamond Medallion credentials touting the opportunity to get free Hertz Gold status. I qualify for Hertz Five Star status anyway through renting at least 10 times a year so this wasn't of much interest to me, but I thought some of you might be able to take advantage of it.

They normally charge $60 for Hertz Gold, though I'm not sure why since the only real benefit is expedited checkout - your name shows up on a cool electronic billboard and you hop in your car, show your license when you drive off the lot, and you are on your way.

To get Gold Status go to hertz.com/goldcorp
Program Name: SkyMiles
CDP Number: 165385
Promo code: 4001
