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.

Since when have earned free days not been valid for one ways?...

I thought only the one two free days were. Possible I'm mistaken.

Why? There could still be people earning them other ways or through regular rentals and wants to sell them.

Why can't you just use the three transfers a year to transfer to anyone? Do they verify the address on the drivers license?

While National doesn't want you selling free days at all, whether that be by 1-2 free coupons or earned regular days, you can transfer up to 3 days to any Emerald Club member if your so inclined. I have utilized it to help a friend.

You just need to find someone who is willing to go through the trouble to do it and expect to probably pay more than a 1-2 Free coupon.

So your statement is technically incorrect.

Whereas it may be possible, I have not heard of anyone on this forum selling those type of free days. Whether it's due to the trouble involved, or the value they offer and no one is willing to part with them.

The point is, the free days that everyone is looking for, is no longer available until the promo comes around again.

This thread can be locked until then, as opposed to every other day someone posting looking for a free day.

Has anyone had experience with the following. I have four rental credits in my account and I need one more to hit the free day. I have a rental car out now for a week. I am returning it on Sunday. This will be my fifth credit. How long does it really take for the credit to post to your account (I called National twice and they said sometimes it posts right away and other times it takes a few days.) ? I want pick up another car on Sunday for an expensive one way rental and would really want to apply the free day towards that rental.

I believe you are supposed to apply the credit at the beginning of the rental. Has anyone has success in having them apply at the end of the rental?

You can call them to credit it at the end of the rental as far as I've heard.

True, but seems like all the other coupons have expired.

Nope. I got it from customer service. I'm not sure if I want to sell it, hence the question of how much people think it would go for. That might convince me to sell..
