What Lufthansa Miles & More unlocks

Most of what Lufthansa Miles & More's Frequent Traveller tier reaches sits several matches deep; only the entry point is a single free step. That step is a global match into Sixt Gold — no purchase involved, and status there doesn't expire outright, running instead on a twelve-month renewal cycle. Everything else on this page builds forward from that Sixt Gold tier through additional car-rental matches, splitting into two real endpoints: Avis and Enterprise Plus.

The path to Avis's top President's Club tier is the shorter of the two: from Sixt Gold it picks up Hertz Five Star, then Sixt Platinum, before landing on President's Club, and the reference below maps every hop in that chain. Each leg is a match rather than a purchase, so the whole route runs on paperwork, not spend.

The Enterprise Plus route shares that same first hop into Sixt Gold, then forks: it picks up Avis Preferred Plus, then Hertz President's Circle, before ending at Enterprise Plus's Platinum tier, with every hop detailed below. The catch sits partway through — moving from Avis Preferred Plus into Hertz President's Circle takes 25+ rentals in the year, and the final leg into Enterprise Plus is scoped to the US and Canada. That's a real bar to clear, worth it mainly if you already rent enough to hit that volume or specifically want Enterprise status.
