I don't have any facts to back this up but if I were in your situation I sure would. Just show the agent your card on your way out of the lot.

Benefits like Hertz Gold, National EA and Exec, etc are not suppose to be available to Priceline blind bids.

I have done the Priceline bids and was told that I could not use my membership advantages (special line, etc). This was at Hertz and Dollar.

You also don't get an additional driver for free.

In order to have Emerald benefits, your Emerald ID has to be included at the time of your reservation. Same with other car company's rental programs.

Priceline and other similar programs don't recognize these car rental memberships, and are only selling discounted rentals with no extra benefits included.

Sorry, but tinka-belle is on the money. You have to check in at the counter. The good news is that practically everyone in the universe uses Emerald Aisle/Reserve (because it's free to join) so the counter rarely has much of a line...
