TORONTO — National Car Rental is once again recognizing its Emerald Club loyalty members by launching its annual ‘Rent Rent Reward’ promotion.

Effective immediately, the promotion offers registered Emerald Club members one free rental day for every two qualifying rentals. Each free rental day covers base rate (time and mileage) only. Bonus points towards free days can be earned for additional rental and non-rental activities such as renting through National’s app.

New this year is a ‘surprise’ mid-promotion bonus that includes a one-time bonus of 100 points.

Points can be accumulated until Feb. 29, 2020 and redeemed until June 15, 2020.

“The annual ‘Rent Rent Reward’ promotion is our way of showing our appreciation for the loyalty and support of our Emerald Club members,” said Frank Thurman, vice president of marketing for National. “We want to help new and existing members earn more free rental days, while experiencing award-winning convenience and efficiency when they’re on the road.”

Free days earned for qualifying rentals through the promotion are awarded in addition to a member’s chosen rewards earnings (frequent traveller miles/points or rental credits).

Registered members receive one free rental day for every 600 points accrued during the promotion period, and every qualifying rental is worth 300 points. Additional bonus points can be earned through both rental and non-rental activities, including:

• Utilizing National’s mobile app to book rentals while earning unlimited points (75 points per completed rental).
• Renting any size vehicle in Latin America (one-time bonus of 300 points upon completion of a rental).
• Renting any size vehicle in Europe (one-time bonus of 300 points upon completion of a rental).
• Participating in the Emerald Reserve service – which accommodates members who require a specific car class, such as a convertible, SUV, minivan, etc. – at Emerald Aisle locations (one-time bonus of 25 points upon completion of a rental).
• Purchasing and adding SiriusXM Satellite Radio service to a qualifying rental (one-time bonus of 250 points).
• Completion of the online National Rental Car Survey after a qualifying rental (one-time bonus of 50 points).
• Completing rentals in three different countries to become a World Traveler (one-time bonus of 300 points).
• Using the Emerald Checkout through the most current version of the National app for rentals at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada (50 bonus points for each use).
