Status? Upgrades? Israel?


a friend of mine who just rented from Hertz last week was told by the agent working there that they now honor status and next time she comes she should make sure to attach her PC number so she can get a 2class upgrade and have the car waiting for her.

It's most likely hit  or miss, the same way  it has always been.

Keep in mind FOREX fees. Amex is generally considered better coverage. Check the limits of each.

You could pay with a different card when returning, if everything goes well.

You should all be aware that I just had a bad situation at Hertz return, where they refused to allow me to change my cc.

If you would have booked with the right agent, they would have let you  :P. There is certain  agent that pretty much works in Avis and if anything happens he can help you out right away.

I've been offered to change CC with Avis, Thrifty, and Sixt. (Never actually did, though.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
