Signup For National Emerald Club And Get Executive Status!

Signup for National Emerald Club via the link above and you’ll automatically get Executive status through 2/28/20.

  • Earn 1 rental credit for every qualified car rental. Free Rental Day = 6 credits
  • Choose any car (Fullsize and above) in the Executive Area and only pay the Midsize rate (in US and Canada).
  • In the US and Canada you’re always guaranteed a free upgrade when you reserve using the Midsize rate.

Officially this is targeted to AMEX cardholders, but I was able to enroll with my Sapphire Reserve card, which gives free primary car rental insurance. AMEX cards only provide secondary coverage on rental cars unless you call to enroll in a program that costs $20/rental to upgrade the secondary coverage to primary coverage.

If you pay for a rental by 1/31/19 with an AMEX you will earn 6 rental credits which can be redeemed for 1 free rental car day on up to a full size car.

The free rental day expires 12/31 of the calendar year following the year in which the credits were earned.

        How do I go about asking Hertz to match it for me ?

  4. simon

    will i get the credit for 6 points if i use my Sapphire reserve?

  5. Gabe

    Just signed up but it did not upgrade to executive any idea?

  6. Wondering

    I thought that the reserve card automatically gets executive status?

    • Shay

      That’s what it says in the Sapphire Reserve benefits.
      Dan?

  7. Micky

    Just beware National is often more expensive then the competition, sometimes double the price.

  8. Felix

    Would it work with Sapphire perfered

  9. Sim

    Just signed up with my existing account and it was upgraded to Executive!

    • sholom

      where did you see that it upgraded you im trying and my status is not changing

  10. abaum

    i signed up and it didnt seem to give me executive status any ideas why?

  11. jr

    it works for existing users if you just “sign in” after clicking through the offer, not “enroll”

  12. lindnuck

    Signed up but it said “Earn free rental days with National, you earn a Free Rental Day for every 7 rental credits OR you can earn miles/points with your chosen frequent traveler program on every National Car Rental.”

    You may want to update the post.

    • Dan

      It’s 6 credits when you have Executive status.

  13. Joe S

    Can this status be matched to any other car rental companies?

  14. BCL

    Are there any other programs that will status match for this?

  15. Menachem

    which code is good for under age by national?

  16. CB

    This seems unethical. The offer requires an Amex and although it seems to work without an Amex account suggesting that people can get this offer without being eligible seems unethical.
    And no, I am not ready to accept that perhaps they meant for people to abuse it and that’s why they left this loophole open.

    • Shay

      I guess this website isn’t for U…

      • CB

        Dan posted the original post, it is not for you to decide who it is for. I try to live every day as if it were this past Wednesday.
        Dan is ethical enough to post posts that are somewhat critical.

  17. pg

    I just upgraded my account and it now says executive expires 2/19 instead of 2/20. should l them and tell them its a mistake?

  18. Arye

    @dan
    If you have the sapphire reserve you should get executive status thru card benefits
    Am I missing something??

  19. Eli

    Fact: The more that people are becoming Executives, the more they remove good and larger vehicles from the aisle, making Executive status less valuable. Witnessing this in NYC airports more and more. Silly that Executive Elites share the same aisle, so there is no really room to grow.

  20. yosef789

    Thank you so much!

    I updated and got EC. It earned me a free day

  21. Maifriend

    Do I pay midsize if I pick a minivan?

    • Isaac

      Yes if you’re executive you could have a minivan for a price of a mid size

  22. chuck

    @dan do you have an article that explains the difference between primary car rental and secondary?

  23. Meir

    The Sapphire reserve always gave executive status And American express platinum also gives executive status so that’s a good deal

  24. Yechiel Greenspan

    Seems that it works w a chase freedom unlimited card
    Though on the homepage it says executive and says AMEX underneath

  25. Yechiel Greenspan

    Just signed up for Emerald club.
    Im seeing a promotion for One Two Free. Anyone know anything about this?

  26. Yechiel Greenspan

    I got executive status and the lowest monthly rentals im seeing are over $1000
    What am i missing?

  27. zow

    Can I start the rental with my CSP to get the primary insurance and, upon returning the vehicle without incident IYH, change the payment method to Amex? Will that qualify for the 6 credits?

    • Dan

      I’d assume so.
      Make sure you’re not enrolled in the AMEX $20 primary plan though.

      • zow

        Thanks. I called and verified that I am not enrolled in primary coverage. FWIW, it sounds like a racket — agent told me that once enrolled, the $20 per rental charge happens automatically with each rental unless you call to cancel it.

  28. jeff

    this tab doesn’t work “Signup For National Emerald Club And Get Executive Status” are there any more options. thank you
