Through Oct. 31 members of airline programs partnered with Hertz can earn double miles on qualifying rentals. Participating airlines are: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, Midwest Express Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, TWA, United Airlines and US Airways. A flight is required to earn miles with all airlines except American, Delta and Northwest. Frequent flyers should mention code 1188888 at the time of reservation. Hertz is also offering bonus participants a free one-year membership in its Club Gold loyalty program. We understand that the bait of frequent flyer miles is a common courtesy for many marketers, but complimentary membership in Club Gold is an attempt to lock in loyalty and compete with counter offers from Hertz rivals, such as Dollar Rent a Car. Those partaking of this bonus should also watch out for the frequent-flyer tax Hertz and other car rental companies pass on to their customers. Miles that are taxed may not be for everyone.
