Topic Wiki

You get free days by renting. Emerald member gets a free day for every 7 rentals, executive every 6 and EE every 5.

Dont forget, there are other ways to earn free days.

Here's the breakdown of the program:
A) Each qualifying rental earns 300 points.
B) A free day is earned with 600 points.

C) Other ways to earn points, here's some of the ones from last years promo:
1] You are able to get 75 points (can be earned x4) for making a rental using the mobile app.
2] 250 points for pre-paying gas (x1)
3] 250 points for renting from a neighborhood location (x1).
HT: lubaby

Regular free days (not the ones from the special promo) expire on December 31 of the year following the year in which they were earned.

All types of free days work on one-way rentals.

PSA - If you are buying a free day from someone make sure you are an emerald member.
Without this they won't allow you to use the coupon.


How to convert

Converting a free day to a coupon code requires a quick call to CS, asking them to gift the free day.
You can use a second email and have them send it there (they ask for name and email). The code isn't tied to any name.
Alternatively you may be able to ask them to send it directly to you so you can deliver the gift etc. they usually send it to both the email given and your account email.

The official limit is 3 conversions per calendar year.

Even speciality cars?

I'd love to know who issues his free days and how he books because my free days as a Executive Elite are only good to Luxury SUV. All trucks and exotic vehicles excluded. Exotic vehicles include any with the word "elite" in it. This is true for every other EE person I know. National even has it listed in the Master Agreement.

https://www.nationalcar.com/en_US/mo...ons.modal.html

6.2. Free Days: Rental credits will, depending upon Membership level, be automatically converted to free rental days ("Free Days") (optional products, taxes and fees are not included):

Emerald Club Executive Elite // 5 (Valid for any car class except Trucks and exotic vehicles)

When converted into a code it works on elite cars, probably a bug

+1

There should be a more expensive daily rate available with unlimited mileage included.
