From National Emerald Club Executive
To Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Five Star

Emailed hertzstatusmatch@hertz.com with screenshot and account number for National Emerald Executive status, and asked if Hertz would be willing to match this status with Hertz Gold Plus FIVE STAR level. I received a welcome email to Hertz Five Star status the next day. Be sure to specify the level you are asking to be matched to, I see that some folks have been given only the gold status by Hertz when asking for a match.
