With 2015 underway, it marks my switch from United’s MileagePlus to Lufthansa’s Miles & More and to that end I’ll be covering Miles & More much more closely and will share any opportunities that I think may be worthwhile.
For January, Miles & More members will benefit from a promo with Hertz that will award double miles and up to 25% off rental reservations made throughout January. Normally, you would earn 500 award miles per rental but with the promo the miles double to 1000.
The terms of the promo are that you have to reserve your vehicle by January 31 and the rental must be completed by March 31, 2015. The minimum rental period is only one day and there appear to be no limits as to how many rentals you can make to take advantage of the promo.
To benefit from the promo you MUST use Promo Code (PC): 300565 and Discount Code (CDP): 646999 when booking your car. You’ll also need to provide your Miles & More number when placing the reservation. According to the fine print, the amount of the discount may vary based on country/city of rental but the amount of miles earned will not be impacted.
