National Car Rental's Emerald Club executive and executive
elite members, as well as Enterprise Rent-A-Car's Enterprise Plus silver, gold
and platinum elite members whose status was set to expire on 28 February 2022
will be extended to 28 February 2023 due to the impact of Covid-19 on
customers' travel plans, Enterprise Holdings announced. In addition, Emerald
Club free days that were set to expire on 31 December 2022 will also be
extended for 12 months to 31 December 2023.
“We recognise the plans of many travellers continue to be
impacted during these dynamic times and that many of our loyalty members may
have not had the chance to use their hard-earned benefits,” said Enterprise
Holdings EVP of global mobility and customer experience Randal Narike in a
statement.
The extensions are the latest in a string of loyalty status
accommodations made by Enterprise and National. Last year, both Enterprise Plus
and Emerald Club were first in the industry to announce extensions to elite
tiers for a full year. National’s Emerald Club also extended the use of its
programme free days for a full year.
