Rental car company Six has over 2,200 locations in over 100 countries. While it might not be the most well known agency in the United States, the agency is known for having more premium cars than other brands, so it’s a good company to rent from if you’re looking to get a premium car (especially in places like Europe).
Anyway, while this isn’t breaking news or the most exciting offer on earth, it’s worth keeping in mind that Sixt has a readily available status match promotion, as flagged by YHBU.
Status match to Sixt Gold & Platinum status
Sixt partners with dozens of major airline and hotel loyalty programs. As part of these partnerships, elite members in those programs can typically take advantage of status match offers with Sixt.
If you visit the Sixt partners webpage, you’ll see all of Sixt’s airline and hotel partners. Just click on each individual partner, and you’ll see the status match opportunity that’s available.
For example, if you visit the American AAdvantage webpage, you’ll see that AAdvantage Gold status matches to Sixt Gold status, while AAdvantage Platinum status and above matches to Sixt Platinum status.
To get the status upgrade, you’ll just have to follow the link for the relevant status that you’re looking to match. Then just follow the prompt and/or register for Sixt’s rewards program, and your status should immediately be upgraded.
What are the benefits of Sixt Gold & Platinum status?
For context on Sixt status, the rental car company has three tiers, including Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Only Gold and Platinum are available with a status match, while Diamond is invitation only.
Sixt Gold status ordinarily requires three rentals annually for residents of the United States. It offers the following perks:
- A free additional driver for all rentals in the United States
- Up to a 10% discount on Sixt rentals, just by booking while logged into your account
Sixt Platinum status ordinarily requires 10 rentals annually for residents of select countries (including the United States), and 20 rentals annually for others. It offers the following perks:
- An exclusive rental counter plus parking area from which you can get your car
- A free car upgrade subject to availability
- A free additional driver for all rentals in the United States
- Up to a 15% discount on Sixt rentals, just by booking while logged into your account
- The ability to earn bonus points with Sixt partners
As you can see, the benefits aren’t much to get excited about, but are better than nothing.
Bottom line
Sixt offers a readily available status match opportunity, whereby you can match airline and hotel elite status with a vast majority of programs to either Sixt Platinum or Gold status. If you have an upcoming Sixt rental, I’d absolutely recommend taking advantage of this, as it’s always better to have status than not.
