Price Check
When booking through the Miles&More promotional page, you can get a week in a Tesla Model Y in Los Angeles for US$522 (~€484) from October 7 through October 14. This is the Flex Rate with cancellation option, and an additional 5,000 reward miles would be included. If booked directly on hertz.de, the regular rate with onsite payment is US$550 (~€510), so you’d actually save a little when booking with the code applied.
However, few people pay the regular price at Hertz, as there are numerous discount options. A more practical comparison is with the following CDPs. For the flex rate, the prices are:
- US$439 (~€407) with Amex Platinum – CDP
633306 - €414 (~US$446) with Mastercard Gold – CDP
795094 - €414 (~US$446) with any VISA credit card – CDP
618583
Compared to these, you pay a surcharge of up to €90 for the 5,000 miles. If you can make use of the miles, it may still be worth it. However, the miles are not entirely free.
If you are wondering where to apply these codes on Hertz’ website, it is possible right at the start of the booking process:

It is a terrible deal for me, for example if I rent a Peugeot 2008 from May 10th to 13th, the cost with my Amex CDP the cost is 101.99 EUR (public price is 119.99 EUR), with Miles & More is 225.29 EUR. There is a huge difference of 123.30 EUR compared to rate with Amex (113.30 EUR difference from public rate) for only 2,000 miles. It is a NO GO for me.
This being said, there are also problems while crediting points at Miles & More. For example, I rented an electric vehicle for 3 days 2 weeks ago with my own CDP, I was supposed to get 1,000 miles according to Miles & More Hertz partner page. I only got 500 miles like for a non electric vehicle. I sent a complaint, I still have not received any answer. It is not reliable.
With Flying Blue, you get 12 miles per 1 EUR spent at Hertz (event 13.5 miles with Amex AF-KLM Amex), it is clearly better and it always work fine.

It is working for me. Maybe it’s because of some adblocker or something like that?
