Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental announced in a statement the company is expanding several loyalty benefits set to expire soon.
First, National Car Rental’s Emerald Club program free rental dayspreviously set to expire on Dec. 31, 2022, will roll over through Sept. 4, 2023. National also has extended “elite tier” status for qualifying loyalty program members. This includes National’s Emerald Club Executive and Executive Elite whose status was set to expire on February 28, 2023. If those members made or make at least one qualifying rental by the end of 2022, their elite status will be extended until February 28, 2024.
Next, Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s “Plus Your Points” promotion has returned this year to enable registered Enterprise Plus members to earn double points on qualifying rentals. The promotion will also offer the opportunity to extend elite tier status for Enterprise Rent-A-Car's Enterprise Plus Silver, Gold and Platinum members whose status was set to expire on February 28, 2023.
To qualify for tier extension, Enterprise Plus members will need to register for the “Plus Your Points” promotion and then make, or have already made, one qualifying rental by the end of 2022, which will extend their elite status until February 28, 2024.
“These extensions give Emerald Club members flexibility to use their free days through next summer and offer many Emerald Club and Enterprise Plus members an extra year to enjoy the benefits of their elite status,” said Liz Ott, vice president of global brand strategy for Enterprise Holdings in the statement. “We are excited to offer greater flexibility so customers can use their benefits when and how they want to use them.”
