If you already hold the Capital One Spark Miles Select, you're one enrollment away from 
Hertz Five Star status — sign up through the Capital One Benefits tab and it's complimentary in the US, the entry point for several rental-car upgrades. The card itself is worth flagging: it's closed to new applicants and was renamed VentureOne Business on 2026-04-14, so this only works if you already hold it.
From Five Star, the easiest branch is a match into 
Sixt Platinum, a status that never expires, and from there one more match reaches 
Avis President's Club, Avis's top tier — two free matches, no separate card required.
The other branch runs through Avis Preferred Plus and Hertz President's Circle on the way to 
Enterprise Plus Platinum; the reference below maps every hop. That branch is harder in practice: matching from Preferred Plus up to President's Circle takes 25+ rentals in a year and can only be claimed once every five years, so it's only worth chasing if you're already renting that often.
