Other Car Rental Programs/Partners (ie. Alamo, Enterprise, Sixt) - Advantage $25 Gift Certificate with Any Rental

I have been wondering about this promotion for a few weeks now. Apparently, Advantage is offering any customer who books through the WN portal a $25 gift certificate at the end of their rental. Has anyone taken advantage of this? I could get conceivably a congo going where my rentals are free and I earn 200 DL miles or 50 CO miles everyday.

Anyone know anything about this (http://www.southwest.com/hotfares/cars_other2.html#advantage)?

Anyone has other commands about Advantage? I'm also interested in rent a car in MCO with them.

The location refused to give me any gift certificate when I returned the vehicle. I contacted their corporate customer service dept who has promised to investigate and get back to me.

Advantage customer service called me back today. Apparently, the location did not receive their gift certificates. One is in the mail on its way to me. I will try again once I receive it and let y'all know how my next rental goes.

I received a photocopy of a coupon that offers $25 off a 3-day rental. Hardly the $25 off my next rental that the website claims to be offering.:mad::td::td:

I contacted SWABrian via PM outlining the discrepancy in advertising vs. the real offer. The special on Southwest.com is supposed to be updated today to better reflect the nature of the offer. In addition, Advantage is making right directly with me. ^^^^ UP TO Southwest and SWABrian for fixing this!!! If you have not used Southwest.com to rent a car, you are missing out on one of the best car rental booking portals.

Southwest.com has been updated with the 3 day minimum in bold face type.

I am not finding this either on the promotions or special offers pages in the Southwest website. Might it have expired? There's just something about how Advantage is usually 50% less than others.

I'm looking to rent a car at BUR, and Avis and Budget are way too expensive to go for the 5,000 DL miles again. (In fact, I switched my flights to be in/out of BUR instead of LAX next month just because of the rental car situation, because they've gotten gawdawful expensive at LAX.)

EDIT:
Moreover, FWIW: Advantage lists only CO as a partner on its own website. Also, Advantage doesn't show on Southwest's booking portal for BUR (and is not even listed but "not available") even though Advantage is at BUR.

And, FWIW, I just booked them on Orbitz for $10 less per day than on Advantage's own site.

I digress a lot, but this may be useful if others are blown away by the other companies' (summer?) rates at LAX and BUR.

Sheez, where do you dig these up? This is not only a lot cheaper than other companies. It's cheaper than the best I could find for Advantage. Thank you, again. :)

I did this four day rental simply for the price, last week. When I had looked at the deal, I saw that it offered "up to" 2,000 miles. Bummed, I thought I'd use it for the couple hundred miles to keep my leaden Continental account alive. Surprise: my $125 yielded 2,000 miles. (I'm not calculating the cpm ...I really needed the car.) ^

Once again, thank you Mrp Alert.
