Although Air France KLM’s Flying Blue program has become the negative example in Europe in recent years regarding price transparency – a title that will probably be taken from them by Lufthansa in a few months (see above) – the miles still have some value.

So, a current promotion with Hertz is indeed of some interest. For bookings until April 02 (and rentals until June 21), you will receive 2,000 bonus miles for rentals of at least three days (and up to 5,000 miles for longer rentals). Together with the generous regular credits of 6 miles per EUR for base members, this results in a total of 3,800 miles for a 3-day rental at 100 EUR per day.

If you choose an electric car, you even double the base credit and end up with 5,600 miles which, despite the Flying Blue devaluations, look better than the standard credit of 500 miles  you would receive with most other programs.
