Enterprise’s yearly loyalty promotion is back. In mid-October 2026, Enterprise announced the return of Plus Your Points, which runs from October 28, 2026 through February 28, 2027. Registered Enterprise Plus members earn double base points on qualifying rentals plus one-time “badge” bonuses for things like a weekend rental, booking ahead or downloading the app. Registration is open now, and it matters: rentals picked up before you register don’t earn anything extra.
How the promotion works
According to the official terms on Enterprise’s promotion site:
- Dates: Rentals must be picked up on or after the later of your registration date or October 28, 2026, and returned by February 28, 2027.
- Double points: Base points are doubled on qualifying rentals of 28 days or less. Tier bonuses are calculated on base points only.
- Spin to Win: One spin per week on the promotion dashboard for up to 50 points, starting November 2, 2026.
- Posting: Allow up to three weeks for bonus points to post.
Here are some of the badges listed in the terms, as of October 2026. Most are one-time, and some are limited to residents of certain countries:
| Badge | Bonus points | How to earn |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | 20 | Register for the promotion |
| First Rental | 200 | Your first qualifying rental as a member |
| Second Rental | 100 | Your second qualifying rental as a member |
| App Download | 100 | Download and sign in to the Enterprise app |
| Email Opt-In | 100 | Opt in to Enterprise emails |
| Redemption | 100 | Apply points to a Free Rental Day |
| Airport Weekend / Neighborhood Weekend | 75 each | Under-5-day rental picked up Thursday to Saturday with a Saturday overnight |
| Plan Ahead | 75 | Reserve at least 15 days before pickup |
| SUV (U.S. and Canada residents) | 75 | Rent an SUV |
| Weekly Rental | 75 | Rental longer than 4 days and under 15 days |
| Repeat Renter | 75 | Two qualifying rentals during the promotion |
| Book Direct | 50 | Reserve on enterprise.com or the app |
| Extended Rental | 500 each | Each rental over 28 days (instead of double points) |
There are also small click-through badges (25 to 50 points) for things like viewing Enterprise deals or updating an expired license or card on your profile.
What it’s worth
Enterprise Plus members earn 1 point per dollar on qualifying rental charges (not fuel, taxes or surcharges), and Enterprise’s U.S. FAQ says free rental days start at as few as 600 points, with the exact number depending on the rental. That means a new member who registers, downloads the app, opts in to emails and completes a couple of rentals could plausibly earn a free day mostly from bonuses. Double points on base spending alone moves the needle less: a $300 rental earns about 300 base points, so doubling adds roughly 300 more.
One detail for National customers: the terms say National Car Rental rentals in the U.S. or Canada can also count, but only if your Emerald Club profile lists your Enterprise Plus number as your frequent-travel preference. That means giving up airline miles on those rentals.
What doesn’t count
- Prepaid rentals booked through third parties, including online travel agencies
- Insurance replacement, dealer and body shop rates, and rentals in tour or travel packages
- Exotic Car Collection, Enterprise CarShare and Car Club rentals
- Rentals made entirely on free days (you need at least one paid day)
Practical tips
- Register today. Activity before registration earns nothing, so sign up before any Thanksgiving pickup.
- Book direct, at least 15 days out. That one reservation can stack Book Direct and Plan Ahead.
- Time a weekend trip. A Thursday-to-Sunday rental can add a weekend badge.
- Use your points once. Redeeming a free day triggers the 100-point Redemption badge.
- Watch expiration. Enterprise Plus points expire 36 months after your last qualifying rental or promotion earning event.
Our take
Plus Your Points is one of the friendlier car rental promotions because most badges are easy, free and stackable, and it covers the busy holiday season. It’s best for occasional renters and new members, who get the biggest one-time bonuses. The catch is that Enterprise points aren’t the most valuable currency to begin with, double points on base spending is modest, and many badges are one-time only. If you rent a few times this winter and don’t mind skipping airline miles, register and collect the easy points. Just don’t book a rental you don’t need to chase them.
