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.

These expired

If you earned from the last 1-2 promotion, yes. But there are other ways to earn free days... I think I'll redeem a free day of mine right now!

You can use them personally, but not sell, they are in your account, not a code....

When making a reservation on a browser there is a space to add a authorized driver, does that driver have to come along when you pick up the car, or just filling it online is enough?

Ime no. I have done it a few times they never asked me for additional driver's license when taking the car.

My follow up question is, can the ad added online pick up the car?

Oops. Must have confused you and the person you were quoting.

This is a question about one two free not free day coupons but didn't know where else to post...
If i make a week rental is that 7 days (3.5 free days) or one rental (300 points)?
If the latter, is there any way to rig the rental to be considered 7 different rentals?
TIA

7 days is considered 2 rentals = 600 points (1 free day).
You can get it considered 3 rentals, by returning the car every 2 days.

Check out the website for details how to earn extra free points.

Thanks!
but the week rental rate would be much cheaper that 3 shorter rentals...

That's usually the case. I guess you have your answer then.

That's incorrect. 7 days is considered one rental credit on a regular free day or just 300 points on a one two free day, excluding any bonus offers you might have for a long rental.

It is 8 days where you get 600 points = 1 free day and/or 2 credits toward your regular free day earning.

Thanks for the clarification, it seems from your post that the regular and 12-free rewards are counted seperately. If i need two rentals for my next free regular day and i rent for 8 days will i get one free regular day plus one 1,2,free day?
