Eligible cardholders must enroll through the Hertz benefit tile, which can be found on the unique Benefits Tab within the Capital One website or mobile app after logging in. After clicking on the Hertz benefit tile, a new webpage will open; there, Venture X cardholders will be able to enroll directly in or request an upgrade to Hertz President’s Circle status and Venture cardholders will be able to enroll directly in or request an upgrade to Hertz Five Star status. Authorized users are eligible for the benefit; the primary account holder can enroll them into the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program through the same process described above. After successful registration, Hertz will process the request and status will be effective 24-72 hours after registration. Please note, enrolling through the normal Hertz Gold Plus Rewards enrollment process (e.g. enrolling directly at Hertz.com) will not automatically detect a cardholder as being eligible for the program and cardholders will not be automatically upgraded to the applicable status tier. Cardholders must go through the above process to be successfully enrolled. Upon enrollment, eligible cardholders will remain at that status level through December 31, 2024, at which point they will be reverted to the level commensurate with Hertz standard usage policies.
