Capital One Extends Hertz President’s Circle Benefit, Removes Expiration Date

For those worried about the impending end date for their top-tier Hertz President’s Circle perk at the end of the year, there’s good news. That benefit is no longer set to expire.

Here’s what cardholders need to know about this positive change.

End Date Removed on Capital One’s Premium Card

The buzz earlier this year centered around the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and its Hertz President’s Circle benefit, which was showing an end date of December 31, 2024. In positive news, that end date is going away.

A spokesperson for Capital One has confirmed that eligible Capital One Venture X cardholders “will continue to qualify for complimentary Hertz Gold Plus Rewards President’s Circle status.”

Whether a new expiration date at some point in the future might be reintroduced, that’s unknown. The same spokesperson said there’s no end date to share at this time but promised that the card issuer “will give customers adequate heads up should anything change.”

In the coming days, make sure to refresh your browser whenever reading pages describing Capital One benefits at Hertz, ensuring that you’re seeing the most updated information.

Hertz offers 2 status tiers: Five Star and President’s Circle.

As a reminder, the Capital One Venture X card comes with the Hertz President’s Circle as a benefit for signing up for the card. Earning that status without the card requires 15 or more rentals or at least $3,000 spent in a 12-month period.

With President’s Circle, you’ll receive all of the benefits of Five Star Plus, plus the following:

• 1.5x points for every $1 spent
• 24-hour advance reservation airport guarantee
• Guaranteed one-class upgrade
• 50% bonus on Gold Plus Rewards Points on all qualified rentals
• After each of your 30th and 40th rentals, a one-rental-free upgrade to any available car on the lot
• After each of your 15th, 20th, and 40th rentals, a one-rental Hertz Valet terminal drive back at select airport locations

Final Thoughts

The Capital One Venture X card is no longer set to lose its Herz status benefit at the end of the year, though there’s no guarantee this benefit will remain a permanent fixture of the card.

For what it’s worth, all of the card’s other travel benefits remain unchanged and provide value even if this 1 benefit would end. You’ll still receive Priority Pass lounge access (though Capital One axed non-lounge benefits back in 2022), Global Entry and TSA PreCheck credits, and a $300 annual travel credit. These benefits make the card still worth the $395 annual fee (rates & fees), given other premium cards have yearly fees topping $500 or more.

Upon enrollment, accessible through the Capital One website or mobile app, eligible cardholders will remain at that status level through the duration of the offer. Please note, enrolling through the normal Hertz Gold Plus Rewards enrollment process (e.g. 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. Additional terms apply.
