National Car Rental is offering free (normally $50) Emerald Club membership, plus 1000 bonus miles on your first rental, and 500 per rental for each additional rental until June 25th. Even if you are a current EC member, you can still sign on for the promotion to get the miles.

Quicker link for current EC members to sign up for the promotion here.

Also, National awards 50 base miles per day of rental.

WARNING: Be sure you either click on the link in the upper right hand corner ("Emerald Club Fee Waived, >>Click here for more details", or enter "1721" as the source code. Otherwise, your $50 won't be waived (I almost got dinged on it).

You should get a "$50 fee waived" confirmation when you submit.

EDIT: Woot... my membership expires in 31-DEC-2037

Note that I believe you need 1 rental a year to continue in the program ...

Thanks to the OP. I was ready to book a rental car in Anchorage for June and National had the best prices on a minivan. Almost $600.00 for the week. Ouch!!! Any savings or bonuses sure help.

Did you have to make the reservation after the promotion started?

I went to KOA two days after the promo started, so that reservation was made well before that.

By the way, I had not gotten any miles for my almost 3-week rental in KOA after 8-weeks, so I had to call them to put it through manually (even though my profile says that's what is supposed to happen), so when their allowed time period is up, get on the horn to them or it probably won't happen.
