Emerald Club Members Can Earn Free Rental Days* Faster Through Upgraded Mobile App, Global Travel
TORONTO, Aug. 23, 2018 /CNW/ - National Car Rental, the award-winning car rental brand for frequent travellers, today launches its annual "Rent Rent Reward" promotion to Canadians. Through its award-winning Emerald Club, National offers registered members the opportunity to earn one free rental day* for every two qualifying rentals during the promotion. Each free rental day covers base rate (time and mileage) only. To help members earn free days faster, this year's promotion offers additional promotional points to members who utilize National's newly-updated mobile app to expedite their rental process with Emerald Checkout℠, which allows renters to scan any vehicle on National's Emerald Aisle, confirm their rental options and accelerate their checkout using a Virtual Pass. The "Rent Rent Reward" promotion begins today and points can be accumulated until February 28, 2019, and redeemed until June 13, 2019.
As a premium brand serving travellers around the world, National has also expanded this year's promotion to include Australia and New Zealand, while adding new promotional bonus point earning opportunities to registered members who become "world travellers" by completing rentals in three different countries.
"At National, we appreciate our customers' continued support and loyalty and strive to show our gratitude by providing a superior rental experience to travellers around the world," said Rob Connors, vice president of brand marketing for National. "Through our annual 'Rent Rent Reward' promotion, we are able to take our appreciation one-step further by providing new and existing Emerald Club members an opportunity to earn more free rental days."
