SAS has announced a crazy promotion with Hertz, and it’s huge — almost making it worth doing the car rental equivalent of a mattress or mileage run. While most car rental companies have partnerships with airlines that allow you to earn miles for the rental, generally the earning rates are minuscule, but the new SAS offer will give you 5,000 SAS Euro bonus Miles for Hertz rentals worldwide. This outstanding offer is to mark the 25th anniversary of the Euro Bonus Program and applies even if you only rent a car for a single day.
The Promotion
The promotion is straightforward with simple terms and conditions. The key terms are as follows:
- Offer is valid for bookings made through June 30, 2017
- Rental pick is valid through to September 30, 2017
- You need to book at the Hertz offer page
- You need to use the discount code CDP 736686 and the promotion code PC203592
- Rental includes make and model guarantee, no hidden fees, and Theft and Collision Damage Waiver
- You need to be a Euro Bonus Member to take advantage of the offer
- Offer cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion
This offer can yield some great value since it is unrestricted, and you will earn the 5,000 miles every time you rent a car, potentially you can rent a car every other day and accumulate some serious Euro Bonus miles. Hunting around for dates and prices, you can also find some very cheap daily rates for Hertz rentals, which will just add value by making your effective cost per point cheaper.
Our Take
Deciding to invest the time, effort and money into this offer is ultimately up to you. If you are already a Euro Bonus member, then you can push for some cheap extra miles. On the other hand, if you have no connection to SAS it is probably not worth it to join and invest the time and effort needed to pick up a ton of miles. Either way, any offer that produces miles this cheaply is worth checking out and being given serious consideration.

The offer could be great for someone who lives near a Hertz with low prices.
It seems there is no minimum rental requirement for the 5000 miles.
A great deal…if it’s honored!
Interesting… Now only if I planned on renting cars anytime soon.
Great! I will sign up with SAS just for this offer.
Are they belong to some alliance?
They are a part of Star Alliance.
That’s a fair deal. Last time I rented a car I only got 1,000 miles for a 9 day rental. 5,000 is much more generous.
How is SAS’s award availability? I’ve never thought to look myself.
I may sign up with SAS just for this offer
United also has some great bonuses with Hertz
Interesting! Now to look for cheap rentals
I don’t have any SAS miles at the moment but this is a huge offer!!
Good to know! I’ll try this next time I rent a car.
Hertz is an overlooked loyalty scheme IMO, if you take a closer look at the transfer partners the lost covers most loyalty points for hotels etc, when a great bonus point deal comes along, grab it.
Do Euro Bonus miles expire?
points expire four (4) years after the qualification period during which they were earned
Fantastic tip, thanks! I disagree with this, though: “if you have no connection to SAS it is probably not worth it to join and invest the time and effort needed to pick up a ton of miles…”
I say, join and get those miles, particularly if you have a few rentals coming up. Miles that big can get you a free ticket pretty fast, and you never know when miles from a various program can be useful…
There was a crazy thread on flyertalk about a guy who got an insane amount of miles with a similar promo a few years ago
Nice deal, wish it would apply to other airlines.
Reminds me of the big Iberia Plus / Avis promotion of last year. Good deal if you can find a cheap car rental…
