Southwest Rapid Rewards - any SWA promo codes for rental cars

Edited by nsx to add:

For current offers, see this (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9679550) post.

Southwest sent me a flyer on cuadruple credit (2 credits instead of 1/2) for Hertz 2 day Full Size rentals. You're supposed to arrive on Southwest within 24 hours. The offer is good on rentals through Dec. 31. I don't have the promo code handy, but I can post details later....

It may be targeted since I fly Southwest only once in a blue moon (maybe 4 one ways per year)--- although I use my Southwest account for car rentals on Dollar and Budget.

thanks for your reply if you can post the promo code it would be great.
thanks

I didn't get a quadruple credit, but I did get a promption for DOUBLE airline miles (including SWA) on even a one-day rental. PC is #934043 and expires 12/15/02.

Get double credit with Budget (1 credit vs .5) with each rental. You must book it from the www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com) website. Here are the details:

Offer valid on Budget reservations booked on southwest.com between September 1 and December 14, 2002, with rental pick up from September 2 through December 15, 2002 at a participating U.S. Budget location where Southwest Airlines flies.
One-day advance reservation required.

Blackout dates: 2002: October 10 - 12 and November 27 - 30.
Offer may not be combined with any other promotional offer.
Rapid Rewards members should wait 4-6 weeks for the additional bonus half credit to post to their account.
Customer may only earn miles/points/credits in one frequent traveler program for each qualifying rental.

You can earn double credit with Alamo when booking at www.southwest.com. (http://www.southwest.com.) Here are the details:

Alamo Rent A Car is offering Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Members Double Rapid Rewards Credits (1.0 credits instead of the standard .5 credits per rental) on all rentals booked on southwest.com through December 15, 2002.

Enter Promo Code 802191 in the "Promotion Code" field on southwest.com. Valid for rentals 2-days or longer on compact cars and above.

Alamo collects a Frequent Flyer Tax Recoupment Surcharge to cover the federal tax on the cost of the credits awarded at the time of rental. Offer not combinable with any other offer or promotion.

I'm not sure about this one nor do I have the restrictions but take it for what its worth:

Triple credit on Hertz. Book at www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com) and use PC 932875 with Hertz. If I remember correctly it must be in conjunction with a Southwest flight.

I hope this information helps everyone http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

thank you all.
Here is one from my side

As promised: Quadruple credit from Hertz:

CDP #205418

Promotion Code 933741

Details are as I stated above:

You're supposed to arrive on WN within 24 hours of the flight (although I got quadruple credit when I was leaving on WN-- on a Rapid Rewards ticket, no less). Thus, WN just inputs the quad credit, I suppose, and WN doesn't verify the flight-- since my WN flight wasn't credited to the account.

You must reserve a Full Size or larger. (I unsuccessfully requested a downgrade: pay for the full, drive a compact-- easier parking).

You must keep the car at least 2 days.

You're supposed to reserve in advance-- online or by phone. I reserved by phone. Never liked the hertz.com system anyway.

The offer is valid for rentals before Dec. 31, 2002.

So that's the scoop....... now to see if I've been targetted for the triple miles promo. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif In my case, it takes many many multiple promos for me to choose WN-- their routes don't fit my travel patterns, but oh well. Guess that's why I've been targetted.

Hertz Promotion Through April 30, 2003:

Double Upgrade from Hertz
You can receive a Double Upgrade on rentals of a Compact (Class B) through Special Sporty (Class D) car at participating locations in the U.S., with a maximum upgrade to a Premium (Class G) car. This offer is valid when you rent on a qualifying Leisure Weekly or Leisure Weekend Rate rental of two or more days. And not just once, but everytime you rent through April 30, 2003.

At time of reservation, you must provide your Rapid Rewards membership number, Rapid Rewards discount number CDP 205418, and PC #936795. Reserve your car now.

Terms and Conditions: Upgrade is subject to larger car availability at time of pickup. One day advance reservation is required. Offer may not be available at some times in some locations especially during periods of peak demand. Blackout dates may apply. Minimum rental age is 25 (exceptions apply). Taxes, tax reimbursement, governmental surcharges and optional services, such as refueling, are extra. Standard rental qualifications, rental period and return restrictions apply. This offer has no cash value and may not be combined with any other offer, discount, coupon or promotion. Frequent Flyer Surcharge of $.50 per day, up to a maximum of $2.00 per rental, may apply.

Triple Credit on Alamo:

renta a compact car through a minivan for 3 or more days by 03/31/03 for triple rapid reward credits. ID (promo code) number 802083 and Rate Code LH.

Does anyone have any new codes?

Hertz COUPON # 936913 CDP # 205418
Triple credit on leisure weekend or weekly rentals through June 30, 2003 (or a double upgrade if your prefer). Nothing about a flight being necessary to get the triple miles.

What is the minimum number of weekend days required on this last Hertz triple miles promotion? What car classes qualify?

Anybody know of other current WN promo codes for rental cars?

I contacted Hertz today after booking a two-day (Sat-Sun) rental for a compact car. It qualified for the triple promo.

So now we know that at least a compact car for two weekend days qualifies for the promo.

CF http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Dollar is having a double credit offer (1 credit instead of the regular half credit) for rentals up to June 30th. The promo was announced today in the Rapid Report on Southwest.com. but started on April 1. There is a code you will find there to use when booking. You have to rent a minumum of a luxury car class and above.

The Hertz offer I posted above March 30th requires a 2 or more day rental for leisure weekend for ANY CAR CLASS every time you rent through June 30, 2003. My last one just posted as quadruple miles for the leisure weekly, 1.5 with a separate .5 on my Southwest account all stating Hertz rental with the same dates. I haven't done the weekend rental so I don't know if it will post this way or just as triple points as the offer indicates. You also seem to get a 10% discount over regular rates by entering the CDP code.

Seckart:

How long did it tkae to post your WN credits after your rental?

Thanks,

Rented on April 5, posted April 13, 2003. About two weeks for me!

I rented April 5th-11th on a weekly at Hertz with this promotion, and it posted as of Friday April 18th. So, one week after my return. My previous one in February only took 2 days to post. Hope this helps! (now if only Choice Hotel credits would post-but that is another story entirely)

I did two weekend rentals, one Sat eve through Mon early morning at TPA in early April, and one Thu aft through Sat aft at OAK in late April, and both posted at 1.5 + .5 (so 2 credits total!) the same way. Both were compact (next class up from economy) rentals.

Also, in my online RR Account Summary, the 1.5 line's "description" field says "Hrtz Triple Cr 1/1/03-9/30/03", which implies it may be valid through Sep 30 now rather than just Jun 30?

One Free Day with a 5 day rental. Book online at www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com) and get 20% off Alamo's leisure rates. Use Rate Code D9 and Coupon Code FA01.

Is the Hertz Double/Triple Credit offer valid on non weekends? I have not been able to make a weekday res with these codes. Weekends have been no problem.

Alamo - Double Credit

Reserve a compact through Minivan for 2 days or more. Valid through 9/30/03.

Request ID Number (Promo Code) 300174 at time of reservation.

Provide RR Card at Pickup.

Bump!

The Hertz deal is quite good!

I got my Alamo double credit within 24 hours of returning the car!!

Is it 1 credit or 2 credits? Thx

2 x 0.5 = 1 credit

I saw this offer mentioned on the other thread but it lacked the codes needed, so here they are.
Hertz QUADRUPLE credit through 9/30/2003.
Must rent a full-size or larger for TWO or more days to receive 2 credits (rather than the normal 0.5 credits).
CDP = 205418
Prmotional Code = 941953

OK - I'm really confused by the current Hertz promotions.

First, there's the "Receive Triple Rapid Rewards" promo - PC 936913. What just posted for a rental in IND was actually 2 full credits - the standard .5 "Hertz Rental Credit" line and a 1.5 "Hrtz Triple Cr 1/1/03-9/30/03" line - even though the promo's only supposed to be good through July 31. They gave this to me on an econo rental @ $15 per day. I liked that very much.

Then there's the quadruple credit offer through 9/30/2003 - PC 941953. This is the one in the targeted mailer (I have no idea how it can't be transferable, per the fine print, since there's a PC # available to all, but that's another issue...) This has a full-size or larger restriction. I obviously like this less.

SO... I'm inclined to continue to use the first promo for as long as I can and so long as I keep getting 2 full credits. Previous posts seem to indicate that everyone's been getting 2 credits on the first - has anyone "only" gotten 1.5? Any experiences since the "new" offer came out?

Probably should also add this to the car rental thread. This came from today's e-mail to RR e-mail subscribers, detailed by CMW at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum44/HTML/000935.html

I just tried to use this PC for a two day rental at SJC and I received the following error message: "No rate qualifies, please select another vehicle or rate type." http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Maybe this promo has expired?

Don't know - the flier only says it's available at "participating locations" but does not specifically exclude SJC. I've only used it in the midwest.

Supposed to be for weekly or weekend of 2+ days - maybe the pickup or dropoff times fell outide the weekend window?

Same for BNA. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Whoops! Looks like I had a problem because I tried to pull up a previous resv. and alter it. It held onto the original return location (in Florida!) with the BNA pick-up location. Seems fine now.

Amazing... Hertz Triple Credit
Just received a snail mail saying, "Exclusively for Selected RR members,Hertz is offering triple credit(that is 1.5 credits instead of 0.5 credit) for rentals(full size or larger cars) of two days or more between 7/1/03-9/30/03.

================================================== ==========
Double Up with Dollar!
================================================== ==========
Now, through December 14, 2003, you can receive double
Rapid Rewards credit on rentals of premium, luxury,
convertible, minivan or sport utility vehicles for two days
or more. It's a great way to get you closer to your next
Award. Book your reservation on http://www.southwest.com ,
provide your Rapid Rewards membership number and
promotion code WN39 to receive your Double Credit.

RE: the Dollar Double Credit Offer...

When I book at Southwest.com, I know that I enter in "WN36" in the Promotion Code Box, but where do I enter in my Rapid Rewards Number?

Fire_Fly

Your rapid rewards number needs to be in your Dollar profile for it to happen automatically. Or, present your RR card/number when you pick up the vehicle. Since Dollar does not have an Elite drop service, you have to go inside and see a live person anyway, just verify that your RR number is in the rental agreement or show your card at that time.

CF

On the Dollar double credit (good for 2-day compact or larger) - this is also available, thru Dec. 14, via the Dollar website (this is good for Southwest plus a host of other airlines) See http://www.dollar.com/promotions/8_21_03_double_miles_promo.asp

The code for that promo is DBL5

The same double credit deal, Southwest exclusively and thru Jan. 31, is WN36

The "new" offer that has the premium, luxury,
convertible, minivan or sport utility vehicles or larger restiction (WN39) doesn't seem to offer anything that the above 2 deals don't already have.

[This message has been edited by Mr. July (edited 10-01-2003).]

You can receive a Double Upgrade & 250 Miles/Points or Double Upgrade & Double Credit when you rent a Compact (Class B) through Special Sporty (Class D) car, with a maximum upgrade to a Premium (Class G) car.

And not just once, but every time you rent through March 31, 2004. Upgrades, Bonus Miles/Points/Credits ...exactly what you would expect from Hertz.

For Double Credit I think you can reserve at www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com) , then :

In the "Discount Plan (CDP) Number" field, enter 205418.
Enter your Rapid Reward number when prompted. The Promotional Coupon (PC) #944790 for rentals in the U.S. and Canada, or PC #945545 for rentals in Puerto Rico, will automatically be applied to your quote.

**************************

OK - no big news, but time to update with offers from the fall Rapid Report -

1. Hertz 3x credit thru 1/31/04

Through January 31, 2004, you can receive triple Rapid Rewards credit - 1.5 credits instead of the usual 0.5 credits - on Hertz Leisure Rate rentals of two or more days. It’s easy: just rent a mid-size or larger car, including sport utility vehicles, minivans and even the Hertz Prestige Collection at a participating airport or suburban location in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

For reservations visit southwest.com or hertz.com, call your travel agent, or call Hertz directly at 1-800-654-2210. Please provide your Rapid Rewards membership number, Rapid Rewards discount number CDP 205418, and promo code 946131. (When booking on southwest.com, please enter 205418 in the Corporate ID/Rate box.)

(Note that there's also a 2x credit/2x upgrade thru end of March posted above)

2. Dollar 2x credit thru Jan 8, 04:

November 1, 2003, through January 8, 2004, the smart money is with Dollar Rent A Car. That’s because you can receive double Rapid Rewards credit from Dollar when you rent a mid-size or larger vehicle for two or more days at participating locations.

Note - the below offer appears to be valid on a wider class of cars for a longer period:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by WN LUVS U:
Now through January 31, 2004, Dollar Rent A Car is offering double credit (1.0 instead of the standard .5 credits) for every qualifying Dollar rental transaction of a compact car or larger for 2 days or longer. Simply use Promo Code WN36 at the time of reservation.

I think you have to do this at www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com)</font>

FYI, I've had past success getting bonus RR credits from Alamo when booking at alamo.com, even when the promo states it must be booked at southwest.com.

In all honesty, I'd love to give WN the commission on the rental, but their online interface won't let you book for non-WN cities.

And I agree that Alamo is posting credits VERY quickly. My recent Hawaii rental posted to RR within two days (compared to my WN flights, which usually take around a week to post -- go figure).

I used WN36 to book dollar compact for two days on dollar's website two months ago and its web immediately telling the code typied in was qualifying for WN deouble credit. I did this just yesterday, it still works. I often search on WN's website to see which car rental is less expensive and then go to its website to make reservation. It avoids typing in credit card number when go to Dollar and Alamo.And the another good thing is the car rental company always sends confirmation via email while WN web does not.

As a Rapid Rewards Visa Cardmember, you can receive double credit (thats 1 credit instead of the standard 0.5 credit per rental and a free one-car group upgrade, subject to availability from December 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004 on qualifying Intermediate through Full-size 4-Door rentals of three or more days. Offer valid at participating Budget airport locations where Southwest flies.

Book online at www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com) and enter BCD # U030848 in the Corp ID/Rate Code.

24 Hour advance notice required.

Rapid Rewards Members will receive double credit (1.0 credits vs. the standard 0.5 credits) per qualifying rental when renting a midsize or larger for three or more days. Rental must be booked on southwest.com by November 30, 2003 for travel through January 31, 2004.

When booking, simply select Alamo and enter Promotion Code 303421 in the Promotion Code field. Be sure to present your Rapid Rewards membership number at the rental counter at the time of rental.

I presume this is for Budget because of the BCD number.

Do I need to book at Southwest.com for this code or can I also do it at hertz.com? Is there any advantage to one over the other?

Also, do I have to note my RR number on the reservation or do I give them my card at the airport?

And finally, can I use my Hertz #1 Club membership and still earn the 4x credits?

Okay, I booked at Hertz.com, since the rate was cheaper (even with the same CDP/PC codes...strange). I did find the spot to put in my RR number. It looks like you have to choose one or the other (miles or Hertz points), unless I'm missing something.

Will I still get 4x credit this way? This is what it states on the reservation (no specific mention of quadruple credit):

Fire_Fly,

It looks like you are set. I always make my reservations at the Hertz page rather than the Southwest page. I haven't done a price comparison, but at the Hertz page the prices are always obscenely reasonable.

For instance, this weekend at STL the rate is $15/day. Grand total after taxes will be $38, and I get two credits. And being #1 Club Gold, I book an Escort and almost always get a Taurus or something similar. Having the car waiting for me is an absolute delight.

Happy travels!

Qualdruple credit is fantastic - thanks.

Also - note that the Hertz 2x + $5 off per day (leisure daily/leisure weekend) OR 2x + $20 (weekly) has been extended thru Nov 30.

I'd been using a similar offer (PC 947940, good thru the end of this month or next, I think) with great success - $30 (tax and fee included) plus a full credit for two-day weekend rentals in the midwest.

Details -

CDP 205418; PC 950810 (leisure daily/weekend) or 950806 (weekly)
Good on any car type, including SUV and minivans
Thru Nov 30
Any reservation means is OK (southwest.com, hertz.com, 1-800-654-2210)
Requires advance reservation, subject to blackout dates and capacity controls by location (not specified, though)

Leisure daily/weekend have a two-day minimum; $5 per day up to $20 off. Weekend defined as pickup noon Monday thru noon Sunday and return no later than 11:59 p.m. Monday; 'lesiure weekday' isn't otherwise defined.
Leisure weekly have a five-day minimum

This came with a mailed ticketless receipt (yeah, I'm probably the last person not to have it e-mailed - but every now and again I get a good offer like this stuffed in there)

Just to get them on record here, four more promotions from the Spring Rapid Report:

Double credit promotions through June 30, 04:

Here's another money-saving option from the Hertz website:

When making a reservation, just provide us with a valid PC# and ask for a "Double Take" at the counter or when you pick-up your car. Available at participating Hertz Airport locations in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico on vehicle pick-ups from May 1 through June 30, 2004.

yosemite1225 -- That's strange. Maybe the 10% vs. 5% has something to do with my rental being a weekly rental and yours being a weekend rental? Why don't you plug in the same info with a 7-day rental and see if your dates/location change to 10% off?

I'm still waiting for my 4x credits to post -- I returned the car on May 5, so hopefully it will be sometime this week.

Where did you see this code? I may use it in Hawaii next month, as I'm sure gas is something like $2.50+ per gallon. Is it valid in Hawaii?

....Never Mind - It would help if I could read :D It's on the Spring Rapid Report and looks like I'm good to go for Hawaii -- I also checked the gas prices in Kauai and the lowest prices seem to be ~$2.35, so the tank of gas is worth more than an extra credit, IMO.

Fire_Fly,

Have you got the Quadruple credit ?

I got my quadruple credit with no trouble. Here's what it looks like on the statement:

04/30/04 STL 1.5 Hertz Dbl Cr on Leisure Rental
04/30/04 STL .5 Hertz Rental Credit

Note that it took a week and a half for the partner credits to post. The airline credits just posted a day before the Hertz credits did.

The grand total for the rental after taxes was $38 for an Impala with leather seats, power everything, 48 miles on the odometer, and a sunroof. And two Southwest credits. Now that's what I call a deal.

Looking for August deal on car rental of 3 days. I'll need a larger car as I'll be dropping daughter off at college. :( Thanks in advance!

Where are you going? You should be able to get a good deal, as well as quadruple credits.

Looks like Hertz is it right now; everything else I found ends this summer. If Hertz doesn't work, it might make sense to just find your best rate ($ off coupon, other discount codes, etc.), know you're getting at least 1/2 credit, and then re-book later if any bonus promos come up. That far ahead, you'd probably want to check back to see if the rates change anyway (some of the rental car yield management tools are really detailed these days - I've seen Alamo quotes change by the hour)

Fire_Fly,

Have you got the Quadruple credit ?

Yes, my quadruple credit posted a couple days ago:

04/30/04 OAK 1.5 Hertz Dbl Cr on Leisure Rental
04/30/04 OAK .5 Hertz Rental Credit

What a great deal!

I also rented from Hertz for two days. Hopefully to get the 4x0.5

I was just doing my rental reservations for the June/July period for the LAX and all the car rental prices seems to be relatively low. Even to my surprise the Herz is only couple of bucks more expensive than the other players.

When I did the rental servation using the SWA code above it did not indicate on the online reservation that the tank full of gas would have been included. I think that it is normal?

I could have used the double take coupon option but the two SWA credits are worth around $40 and the tank full of gas $30.

Check the total with the car return person before s/he closes out the contract. I was set to be charged for the fuel, so I just asked to close out the record with someone in the office / counter / Gold booth. I heard that that has been happening.

And to fully CYA (not an airport code ;) ), attach a printout of the Hertz section of the WN newsletter (http://www.southwest.com/rapid_rewards/rapid_report/partnerperks.html#hertz). (Select/highlight that section and hit Ctrl-P and then Alt-T to get just that section. Saves paper!)

Thanks for the info.

Just to clarify for the folks who are deciding which PC to use for hertz.
Here are the rules.

PC 950714 is good until 11/04 and gives DOUBLE SWA credit for any class

PC 950902 is good until 8/04 and gives Quadruple credit (2.0) for SWA

Using PC950902 also got me an additional $20 off the rental I had in IAH last week. (i.e. over and above the 10% discount or whatever, and the 2.0 credits).

Using PC950902 also got me an additional $20 off the rental I had in IAH last week. (i.e. over and above the 10% discount or whatever, and the 2.0 credits).

Was the $20 off noted in the reservation's estimated costs or was it a complete surprise? How long was the rental?

I tried changing one of my weekend reservations to get the $20 to show up but it didn't. Are you sure you really used 950902 and not some other coupon? :)

It was a surprise I only noticed after getting onto the shuttlebus and glancing at my receipt. I don't recall seeing it in the reservation. I got the 2.0 credits, and I'm pretty sure it was 950902. I'll have to check when I am back in my office tomorrow.

Haven't seen the credit yet at WN's website, but it's only been a few days

To follow up on my previous post, I checked my rental receipt and it has the following lines in the receipt:

3 days @ 44.99 134.97
Promo 950902 -20.00
Discount 10% -11.50
Subtotal 103.47
and then a bunch of stuff about all the airport fees, etc.

Presumably the 10% discount is the regular CDP-based discount using the WN CDP. The $20 was a surprise.

Interestingly, the PC# doesn't seem to show up on the receipt you take off the #1Gold website, only on the "cash register receipt" from the express return. THe #1Gold receipt just shows "Adjustment $20.00" instead.

You might want to check on this. I'm not sure SW promotions are eligible in Hawaii as they don't fly there. We were there in April, forgot whether we had Budget or Dollar but when we tried to give our SW # for the half a credit they said they don't partner with SW there since SW doesn't fly into Hawaii. Had no problem getting AA miles. It may not be a problem with Hertz but I would check before I paid a higher rate expecting to get the bonuses.

Had no problem getting AA miles. It may not be a problem with Hertz but I would check before I paid a higher rate expecting to get the bonuses.

When I was in Hawaii 2 months ago, Alamo gave me SWA credit (in OGG) but Budget would not give me SWA credit (in HNL). It is really annoying because Budget only gives SWA credit at "participating locations". How are you supposed to know what a "participating location" is if Budget doesn't list them or alert you when you reserve the dumb car on the Net. Are you supposed to call up Budget to check every single time? I factor the SWA credit into my purchase price when I rent a car. I only rented the car for 8 hours during a layover in HNL but I factored the 0.5 credit that I would earn in as a $10 savings, hence I picked Budget over the other companies cuz Budget had like a $1 cheaper rate. Since Budget wouldn't give SWA credit, I ended up getting AA miles instead. However the more I think about it, the lousy 50 AA miles that I got for the rental was basically completely subsidized by ME through the 50 cent frequent flyer surcharge tax I had to pay. Since I value the 50 AA miles at 50 cents, I basically got NOTHING for renting the car with Budget in Hawaii. My advice: DON'T RENT FROM BUDGET IN HAWAII. I personally will never rent from Budget again anywhere unless they are FAR CHEAPER than any other option. On another topic, why do people even bother getting frequent flyer miles if they only get 50 miles a day through AA/UAL/DL/etc? It seems to me as if they are just paying for the miles through the 50 cent per day FF surcharge. Or am I wrong?

I haven't had a problem getting Hertz points (including quadruple credit) from DCA, BOS, and other non-Southwest airports. They usually post within 1-2 weeks, too.

I waited 8 weeks for Dollar points (from BWI) before calling them, and then it took 2 more weeks for them to post, and then it was single credit instead of the triple credit I'd reserved.

So I'll stick with Hertz unless there's a big price difference.

I just checked my credit card statement. It was Budget in HNL that would not let us use SW as a partner. We had the car for a week and had a very good rate so it wasn't a big problem this time but I will certainly factor in the "participating location" question in future decisions to rent from Budget.

My Quadruple credit posted to Rapid Rewards yesterday, exactly one week after returning the car.

This is a great deal--kudos to whoever unearthed it. :)

After a simple calculatoin I found ;Hertz double credit + free gas " is better than "hertz 4x" credit". If we count 1 rr credit equals $20, then a tank of gas
will at least cost $30. I took advantage of 'hertz 4x" on two weekends and cost about $35/weekend. It already meant I rented Hertz for FREE.

Keep tha in mind, I will make a few more reservations from hertz to take full advantage. ^

This assumption only holds if you actually use a full tank of gas. Often I don't put more than 40-50 miles on a car over a couple days on a business trip. Even at $2.50 a gallon that won't likely add up to $20. (With the Prius I had last month, it added up to $1.07 worth of gas.).

I got the quadruple credit, no problem, in STL (booked it on the Southwest Travel Center)...it even says at the bottom of my return receipt "2 Rapid Rewards credits awarded".

However, in SHV, which is not a Southwest station, using the same promotion code (booked on the Hertz website), got only the normal 0.5 credits.

Perhaps DCA works because it is a co-terminal with BWI, and BOS with PVD? Whereas SHV is nowhere near another WN city?

I'm just guessing here - it can't be the fact that I booked one on the WN website, since you can't book anything but their cities on that website.

Any other experiences out there?

Perhaps it has more to do with SHV possibly being a "franchise" town and not a true "hertz corporate" location (don't know for sure, but I'm guessing). The promotions usually say "participating locations only" and in my experience that seems to be codespeak for non-corporate locations. (Some of these locations don't honor the corporate rates/benefits, too).


...Perhaps DCA works because it is a co-terminal with BWI, and BOS with PVD? Whereas SHV is nowhere near another WN city?

Boris, the receipt I got in SHV said "Rented By The Hertz Corporation" which I assume means it's a corporate location, not a franchise. Good thinking though.

This is new from Rapid Report...not as good as the 4x credit, but it has a later deadline, so when the other one runs out, use this one :)

Double Credit from Hertz!
************************************************** **********

Now through October 31, 2004, you can receive double Rapid
Rewards credit (that's 1.0 credits instead of the standard
0.5 credits) on all qualifying Leisure Rate rentals of two
or more days. Take advantage of this offer by renting any
car at a participating airport or suburban location in
the U.S., Puerto Rico or Canada.

Also, simply use your Rapid Rewards discount number CDP 205418,
and you can receive savings and benefits every time you
rent from Hertz!

For reservations, visit southwest.com, hertz.com, or call
Hertz at 1-800-654-2210. At time of reservation, you must
provide your Rapid Rewards membership number, Rapid Rewards
discount number CDP 205418, and Promotion Code 952361 (when
booking on southwest.com, enter 205418 in the Corporate
ID/Rate box and 952361 in the Promotion Code box to receive
your double credit).

I got double credits on the WN promo in HNL.... no way that can remotely be considered a WN station. ;)

Promo code 950810 for weekend rentals with Hertz, and 950606 for weekly rentals, give double WN credit plus $5 off per day, up to $20 off.

The code is no longer listed on southwest.com, but the offer is valid through Nov. 30, 2004. It's listed on an insert in every mailed WN receipt I've gotten in the last couple months.

I'm sure this has been listed earlier in this thread..... but why use the 'latest, greatest' double credit promo code when this old standby gives double credit along with $$$ off?!?! ;)

You're right, that one is better. Thanks for the reminder!!

Also goes longer than the 4x prmotion, but BOOK NOW as its a short term thing....

Any other experiences with the random discounts? Hertz is so high in DEN that I'm considering skipping all this and Pricelining it...

Just switched out CP and got a Hertz flier for double credits, as well as an offer for #1 Club Gold.

2x credits: CDP 205418, PC 947785

Nothing special compared to other offers, but this appears to be good on any car for any length of time (including 1-day rentals), and is valid thru Feb 28 05.

Anyone had any experience in using this code?

Anyone had any experience in using this code?
Yes, SanFF posted the same CP code in this thread on 4/12/04. I used it earlier this month for a 1 day Economy (although Hertz upgraded me to a nice SUV for free) weekend rental from LAX. The total came to $15.67 including tax. I value 1.0 SWA credit at $20 so I figure I got paid over $4 to drive Hertz'z SUV for the day. Thanks Hertz!!!!!

I booked Hertz CDP205418, PC 950714 for SJC pick up. I was told it was not qualified when I got on the rental counter.The rental agent said it is too good to be true. Then I demanded to talk to Hertz customer service over the phone and finally confirmed the free tankn of gas. Now I am going I-5 MR . :)

How can you get confirmation of the free tank of gas when making the reservation online? There is absolutely no indication and the HLE that I rent from in Oakland is always looking to start an argument. Is there a link or an e-mail that someone can post that I can print for documentation? Thanks.

The free tank of gas was on the spring Rapid Report which, unfortunately, has been replaced on-line by the summer edition.

The best I could find was a cached (http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:7mS4yKpKxJYJ:www.southwest.com/rapid_rewards/rapid_report/quicktakes.html+southwest+airlines+rapid+report+pa rtner+perks+hertz+spring&hl=en) version of the title page on Google - but the detail page with the Hertz terms and conditions appears to be gone. Maybe someone else was smart enough to print out a copy that they could get to you or will have better luck finding an archived copy of the page.

Thanks for your help. I may just try my luck and like yosemite1225 had to do, call Hertz CS if they give me a hassle when I get there.

:) When I used Hertz CDP205418, PC 950714, I did it online.
(BTW, I checked the both swa and hertz websites, only found the latter offers LOWER price.I also don't both to visit the web to see if the price was getting lower after initial booking. I often find there are lower rental price available as it approaching weekends. I book a new reservation if there is a lower price available and cancel the old.)

When I was at the rental counter last Saturday night, after initial confilict information from rental agent I demanded to have a clarification from hertz customer service. Took a little while to be connected, but the customer service was quickly confirmed all information the CDP and PC # applying.

After the conversation between the rental agent and Hertz CSA, the rental agent told me that CSA said the problem was caused by a computer glitch when reservation was made online, but would not happen if the reservation was placed on the phone.

The rental agent again and again said "Sorry forthe trouble" to me and quickly made the rental printout, showing I purchased the tank of gas at $33.33 discout ! :D

Thanks SWA :)

I've found that making the reservation online is $10-$15 cheaper per day than over the phone. So what I do with the free gas code is make the reservation online and then call reservations and have them add the notation to the reservation that the free tank of gas is included.

Saves a lot of hassle at the desk.

True. Actually, my bill was about $3 higher than I booked when my rental was settled over the phone. But I am still happy because it was still LOWER
than if I booked on SWA web, moreover, if you consider 1 rr credit=$20, and $33.33 discount for gas I got a free rental. No complain at all.

earlier post said this code expired on 08/04, I just tried (for travel in late August) using this code and got a much better rate on SWA website than on Hertz website. hope I do get quad points. can anyone confirm the expiration date? thanks !!

I rarely rent autos - typically fly and then taxi it. At any rate, I've got a trip to San Diego August 7-11. I need a cheap rental car and I like these Southwest promos to top off the next free Southwest ticket.

My main question - with these promo codes, do they require that you fly on Southwest in conjunction with the car rental. I'm flying Delta for this long haul trip.

Thanks for the help.

Jim

bigjim: Yes, these PCs work with or without a flight and in cities without SWA service.

earlier post said this code expired on 08/04, I just tried (for travel in late August) using this code and got a much better rate on SWA website than on Hertz website. hope I do get quad points. can anyone confirm the expiration date? thanks !!

I am using the same code in two weeks and the system accepted it. Hertz is pretty good about rejecting any PC that is invalid (date, size, length). Regarding the websites, the last three rentals I booked (all within the last two weeks) were less expensive on SWA's site.

I can confirm that this rate:
Expires 12/31/04: Triple credit and $5 off per day on Leisure Weekend rental of 2+ days. Midsize (Class C) or larger. PC 952092.
...quotes exactly the same on both WN and Hertz sites, for 3 wknd rentals I have in MSY -- next week, Oct & Nov.
If you want a Leisure Weekly rate w/ the same bennies, the PC is 952486.

This info came yesterday w/ my drink coupons mailing.

OK, Make it simple for me so I don't have to read this whole post.
I need some numbers for a Hertz 2-day rental during the week in LA and in San Jose so that I can get some extra credits. I am close to Companion pass, and need the Hertz extra bonus to get there. I tried the quadruple points rerenced earlier, but now they say it's not a valid number anymore. My travel will be Aug. 23-27.
Thanks

I was quite bummed to find that 950902 did not result in the random discount... Would've been particularly nice on my over-priced DEN rental this weekend! Oh, well. I'll Priceline it next time Hertz tries to stick it to me.

Please?

...scroll down to July 23rd in this thread and you will find a summary of current Hertz/RR bonus opportunities. However, you will find that most week day PCs require 5+ days. (Although there are some double credits.) Depending on the days, you might qualify for a weekend PC since Hertz weekends aren't the same as for most of us. :)

I've been having problems with these promos working, but I'll try again

This weekend I used PC 952092 at the HLE in my home town of Downers Grove. I had been quoted a total of $30 for the weekend, and when I returned the car, they asked to see the coupon. I said it came in an email, and they called some home office to confirm the deal.

After the phone call, I was told the discount was $20 (instead of the $10 I was expecting). The grand total was $20.12 for two days, and I will get 1.5 WN credits from the rental.

If the rates stay the same, I'm renting every weekend this fall.

I booked 2 days at SJC. In July, I also booked the same deal, but took me sometime to clarify on the rental counter--- the rental agent didn't have the
same information on Hertz reservation computer. This time, I called ahead before picking up the car, and it was confirmed by Hertz CSA. But when I was
in the rental counter, the rental agent again asked me if I want to buy the gas? I explained to her and she then called Hertz reservation to confirm.

Well it took almost an hour to get my car on the road. The deal is a full tank of gas + double rr credit=free weeked rental

Could someone please note whether any or all of these offers require an actual coupon, or if you just need the codes? Last time I rented from Hertz (not one of these offers), they definitely required me to turn in the coupon. Thank you.

Every time that I return a car they ask for the coupon. I always say that's it's an e-coupon, they look a little perplexed and everything works fine.

If you need some logic consider this PC: "Expires 2/28/05: Double credit on any car, any length rental: PC 947785". (I believe that this came with our new CP.) This one says right on the page that it can be used unlimited times. If you turn it in the first time, then what? Obviously you can't turn in an "unlimited use" coupon.

Although, I will say that it's a good idea to have a copy of the coupon handy, just in case.

Every time that I return a car they ask for the coupon. I always say that's it's an e-coupon, they look a little perplexed and everything works fine.

I've never been asked for a coupon over the span of quite a few rentals at many airports, including the very generous quadruple Rapid Rewards credit promotion. I wonder which of our experiences is the norm, and which is the exception.

I've been asked for a coupon, , not at return but at the rental counter. I told them the PC code was used when making reseveration.

It is hard to get a reward ticket now. In the past, I don't need to fly a lot, nowadays, we need extra efforts from those little things to get a rr reward

Generally not been asked for a coupon, but most of my Hertz rentals are of the #1 club, gold or whatever it's called - you either bypass the counter entirely or they have everything set to go and you show your ID. In the rare instances I have had a coupon that says you must surrender it, I've actually confused the return people by trying to give it to them - most of the time they don't know what to do with it.

Doesn't help with bonus credit offers, but I've found that if you fill out the comment card that comes with the rental packet and mark "request response" they'll throw in a coupon or two with the response letter.

Dollar - 2x credit for minivan, convertible, sport utility, premium or luxury for 2+ days. Promo code is WNAWD

This one is good thru 2/28/05

Note: fine print says "coupon must be surrendered at time of rental" Not enough experience to know if Dollar actually enforces this. Mine came stuffed with a mailed flight itinerary last night - so best bet if you're interested is to specify the mail option the next time you book.

Hertz PC 952092 at SJC Airport resulted in Hertz forgetting to apply the $5/day. How come all of the Hertz billing errors in SJC are in their favor? :mad:

That is why you should always make it clear at the rental counter, when the rental agreement is signed

Just used CDP 205418, PC 952361 for Hertz for the 3 day weekend in LAS, thru SWA's site ($15/day)...was only a few cents cheaper than Hertz's site. I'm a gold hertz member although honestly i never use hertz because they're almost always the most expensive (off topic, but the current deal with Dollar and NW can't be beat imho---triple miles by Dollar for a 2 day rental, and NW doubles that), but using it cause i need a quick credit on SWA. Anyway, before i made the reservation, I called the gold hertz desk and confirmed the above is valid for double SWA credit, no coupon required. However, after i booked it on SWA i read the fine print on my on-screen confirmation and it said coupon WAS required...i called gold hertz back and they verified coupon was NOT required, and they made that notation in my reservation so I wouldn't have a hassle. So if you're concerned, i suggest you do what i did...

PS...after 10 months of fighting with Office Max, I'm the proud owner of 21 United miles from my $4 purchase of AAA batteries in December of 2003. I needed it for my 5k United bonus which posted immediately this week after the 21 miles showed up. Talk about a hassle, but after dealing with dollar, budget and alamo (constantly) over missing mileage, I'm almost prepared for anything (but fighting for credits over Econ-O-Lodge is even too much for me to handle...with or without medication)

That is why you should always make it clear at the rental counter, when the rental agreement is signed

I'm a Hertz Club Gold member, so I never stand in line or sign any agreements. It is much more hassle to fight over the particulars of a PC coupon in person than it is to do it online after the rental with Hertz's corportate office.

Well, I usally make several reservations and pick one most convienent for me(since often I don't know when I can get to the airport). And often I don't like the car, Hertz assign and want a change. In the case of free tank of gas, if you don't make it clear, you will be charged for empty tank. In the past, I was able to get the refund but only after several phone calls and took several months.

I probably didn't get your point on your first post saying"How come all of the Hertz billing errors in SJC are in their favor? "

Anyone beside Hertz have double credit promo right now that does not require mid-size or larger? Hertz rates are kind of high, but I have a free day coupon that will knock it down to something reasonable. Only thing is I don't know if I can combine coupons on the same res. (Southwest double credit and Hertz free day). Anyone know?

Nope you can't combine coupons or discounts. Each coupon or bonus will have its own unique Promotional Code and you can only use one PC # per reservation.

It would be nice though if you could get $5 off per day, triple RR credit, a free day, AND a free tank of gas for a single rental. I'd sell my car and rent a car everyday from Hertz if that was possible. :)

New double credti offers from the Fall Rapid Report:

Budget: 2x credit, any rental from 1-14 days. Intermediate and above CARS. 24-hour advance reservation, participating Southwest airport locations only. BCD # U072704. Book online @ southwest, budget or by phone. Good thru Dec 15.

Dollar: 2x credit, compact car or larger vehicle for three days or longer at participating locations. Promo code WN28. Book online or by phone. Good thru Dec 31.

Budget: 2x credit, any rental from 1-14 days. Intermediate and above CARS. 24-hour advance reservation, participating Southwest airport locations only. BCD # U072704. Book online @ southwest, budget or by phone. Good thru Dec 15.


Wow! That Budget code knocked off about 25% on my rate for a compact car (even though it said intermediate and above). Thanks for the tip!

That Budget code knocked off about 25% on my rate for a compact car!

Note that 2x credit is supposed to be for intermediate and above, and since it's new there's probably no track record on how well it's enforced. Still, sometimes the $ is worth more than the fractional credit.

Budget lists "compact" and "mid-sized", but nothing in between (at least at my location). I guess "intermediate" would correspond to "mid-sized" in this case?

You're right - comparing the Southwest promo and the Budget website, I see the ambiguity. Your speculation that mid-sized = intermediate would be my guess, too - but it sounds like you now have room to argue. Something along the lines of "there wasn't anything listed as 'intermediate' and because the compact was in between the economy and mid-size and because you gave me a rate quote with that promo code I was led to believe that a 'compact' was the same as an 'intermediate' and therefore you should give me double credit" comes to mind.

Dollar triple credit - full size or larger, three days or longer. Rent between Oct 15 & Dec 15 2004. No flight required. Use promo WN30.

This came in a targeted promo (offering 2x credit for Y-fare flights booked online to/from BWI - but during the same window for 2x credit on Visa purchases :confused: ). Dollar offer refers to "select Rapid Rewards Members," but doesn't appear to be limited.

A very good topic that needs to stay at or near page one!

BUMP!

This topic is linked from the FAQ.

Are there any Hertz offers for triple or quadruple credit available between now and 12/15/04? I haven't seen anything

So this Car Rental thread is the #1 most viewed thread on this forum and is #3 in terms of highest number of posts of any thread in the SWA Forum. And this thread has been viewed over twice as many times as any other thread in this forum. So nsx, how did you get your FAQs thread stickied? Can you get this one stickied as well? BTW, if you play around with the display/sort function down below, I'm not sure how accurate the "Most Viewed" function is. I believe FT only started the ticker count when they made the recent changes to FT as all the old threads have very low counts. For example, the #1 most posted on thread has 183 posts but was only viewed 184 times? But this Car Rental thread is definitely a popular thread and if everybody else here uses if half as much as I do, it would be useful if it was stuck to the top under the FAQs.

OK, no problem. The link from the FAQ to the car rental code thread is not prominent, and I suppose we can afford two stickies. I'll get it done.

Bumping, in case someone missed this deal with Hertz, reported in another thread:

Book at www.southwest.com SWA CDP 205418 and PC 952092 will give you 1.5 credits per rental plus 5 bucks off per day on a cheap Hertz Leisure Weekend rate! Good till 12/31/04!

I've been using PC 952092 all summer and fall. It's a great deal -- $5 off per day and triple credit, mid-size or larger. I just spent the weekend in St Louis and paid $36 for a Taurus for two days, and got 1.5 credits. And it had a Sirius radio at no charge. Needless to say, I was quite pleased.

Is there a time limit for this offer, i tried it for one day rentals in LAS and it did not work.
thanks

Yes - at least 2 days. Try 947785 - that's the only 1-day I'm aware of (2x credit, standard Southwest %-off discount, but nothing else). Details are back a page or two in this thread.

Good thru March 31 05 offers from the Hertz website -

[1] 2x Credit + $5/day off (weekend) or $20 off (weekly), any car. Weekend requires 2+ days. Standard WN CDP (205418), use PC 947940 (weekend) or 947962 (weekly).

PC # seems to be recycled from last year, offer looks to be same as the promo that's due to sunset on November 30.

[2] 2x Credit + one-class upgrade (on rentals of compacts to full size). Use PC 950994 on this one.

This is the same PC as previously posted, but is now good thru 3/31

Just received a postcard from Southwest:

For a limited time through February 28, 2005, receive quadruple credit on all qualifying Hertz Leisure Rate rentals at participating airport and suburban locations in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada. Simply rent any Hertz vehicle for two days or more, and you'll earn 2 credits instead of the usual 0.5 credits.

Thanks for the codes.. much app. ^

I got this too. Quick question. I'm in a city for 4 days. Can i rent for 2 days, return at the airport, then turn around and check out another car for 2 days, and get FOUR credits? I'd be renting/returning at the same spot. Thanks!

Can i rent for 2 days, return at the airport, then turn around and check out another car for 2 days, and get 8 credits?

Quadruple Credits means four times the normal .5 credit, or two credits. So your plan would result in four credits.

My experience is that you can get credits for back-to-back rentals, but I've only tried this once when I downsized from a SUV to a compact.

That's a nice code -- it works on any size vehicle. I just made a few reservations for weekends this winter at my Hertz Local Edition. Thanks!

Here's one from Alamo (not nearly as good as the Hertz promos, but worth posting anyway):

Now through January 31, 2005, receive Double Rapid Rewards credit (one credit per rental, rather than the usual 0.5 credits) when you rent from Alamo! Simply rent any vehicle for two days or longer in the United States.

To take advantage of this great offer, book online at southwest.com, alamo.com or call 1-800-354-2322. Please provide Corporate ID/Rate 7000219 when you make your reservation.

The fine print says that this is subject to blackouts, and isn't available in NYC Metro or San Jose.

I'm a Hertz Club Gold member, so I never stand in line or sign any agreements. It is much more hassle to fight over the particulars of a PC coupon in person than it is to do it online after the rental with Hertz's corportate office.

Oh, not necessarily... I've made four phone calls regarding WN credit for a July (!) rental for a certain PC code which was probably changed by a brilliant person at ROC in order to adjust for the free tank of gas. (It was a wonderful coupon, and only at ROC did I have much trouble with it.)

There's a thread at www.betterbidding.com under Rental Cars that has a lot of codes. For some reason I seem to be promoting them a lot here. I love that site for hotel info and FT for flight info! :p

Got a flier from Hertz in a recent mailed ticketless confirmation -

The triple credit + $5/day (weekend) or $20 (weekly) on C class/midsize or larger is now good until 12/31/05.

note: Budget on-line help (800-404-8033) tells me that you can't add the coupon code online, but instead have to call them to put it in after you make the reservation. So this one may be too much work for the add'l 1/2 credit - especially with such rich offers from Hertz out there.

Thanks Mr July. awesome rates with this coupon and triple credit! Using it twice this month.

This came from the rapid rewards page at southwest.com. Update: Odd, this doesn't seem to be on the page anymore - it was there this morning. Successfully booked a rental in CMH for next week using the promo (Apr 7) - I will let you know if I have any trouble with it.

Update - worked fine (and posted quick!). This now shows up on the back of the system timetable.

For Budget FastBreak members. (Fastbreak costs nothing to join) Free double upgrade , maximum to Group G. Rental must begin by June 30, 2005. Promo Code - UUDZ001.

Interesting,

The contract I got and the final printout from Hertz Gold was did not include the $5 off per day! I sent a letter to Hertz.com to fix this error!

Perhaps the 2x + $5/day off applies to all cars. The 3x + $5/day off (PC 952092) applies only to midsize or larger vehicles.

Usually, the difference between midsize and compact has been $2/day or less, so I've just been booking midsize using the triple-credit promo. But perhaps in some markets or at some times the compact rate would be substantially cheaper than the midsize rate such that using the 2x promo would be warranted.

The Hertz promo is tremedous! ^

Much to my surprise, the rate was less than the AAA rate and every other discount rate code and coupon. :cool:

And every extra half-credit is that much more valuable since the expiration of the online booking bonus. lMuchas Gracias. :)

Perhaps the 2x + $5/day off applies to all cars. The 3x + $5/day off (PC 952092) applies only to midsize or larger vehicles.

Sorry - forgot to check and threw away the flier. Just tried a dummy reservation, and this does seem to be the case - 2x appears to work for smaller cars.

FOUR FULL CREDITS??? WOW, that's a free ticket every four rentals!!
The best I had seen is 4x the credits, or 2 full credit per rental.

Are all other T&C the same as the OP for 3 credits??

Has anyone received the four credits/2000 miles yet?

I just returned a car a couple of days ago and the Hertz statement said:

You've earned 4.5 credits!!

And if I read the previous post, it says the credits are ADDITIONAL, so this adds up. If true, this is better than an old fashioned RT in the good days of 2x credits.

Not posted on my SW RR account yet, but I'm checking daily.

Which PC# did you use? It must be the PC#968741 which says four bonus credits (plus the normal .5 credit)= 4.5 credits. I assume the other PC#968763 says three bonus credits + normal .5 credits= 3.5 credits.

That is a bonanza! Did you receive the promo...do you know if terms and conditions are the same as the three credit bonus?


Has anyone actually had the bonus credits post yet?
Thanks!!

checked my southwest account and only .5 credit is posted. But the receipt shows that i will get 4.5 credits. can anyone check their swa account and let me know
thanks,

The same happened to me!

When I returned the car, the statement said I earned 4.5 credits, the credits posted yesterday, and it was only 0.5. It may be that the bonus will post later.

Will check with Hertz and post my updates.

William: I've used the PC for 4 credits from this thread. I don't have the T&C, but sanFF indicated they are the same as in the 3 credit promo.

Finally, after only the regular .5 had shown for almost a week, here it is:

05/XX/05 XXX .5 Hertz Rental Credit
05/XX/05 XXX 4 Hertz President's Cir 4 Cr BN

^ ^ ^

Are you in the "President's Circle"? Is that code only for members of the P.C. or can anybody use the 4.5 credit code?

I booked a rental for my coworker next week at TPA using 968741. It allowed me to reserve the car and accepted the PC. We'll soon find out if it works and the credits post; he rents from Hertz perhaps twice a year.

Here is a link to the offer, from the Hertz forum.

http://offers.hertzgold.com/offer.aspx?offerid=118

Does not seem to be targeted, or restricted, but it's a Hertz Gold offer.

This will get you a bunch more stuff as well, including one year of conde nast travel, a bottle of wine, 2 passes to the red carpet club...and yes, some deals with United too. Be sure to cancel within three months, unless you're happy with the service!!

I have. 4.5 segments for a rental last week.

Can somebody help me understand the earlier post?

If I book a compact on the Hertz website, does this mean that
I will receive a mid-size?

I didn't see anywhere on the hertz checkout that mentioned the
upgrade. I am reserving for 2 days and need a mid-size
in BWI from June 27 and 28.

Am I understanding this correctly?

I think the fine print indicates that the upgrade is on an as-available basis, so if you absolutely must have a mid-size, then you probably have to book it.

I'm a #1 gold and booked a car a couple of weeks ago with the 4.5 bonus number. I checked with the booking agent and the counter both on pick-up and return of the car to make sure the proper offer was listed. Today I see that my account shows .5 hertz rental credit. I know that often when there's a bonus offer, the regular credit and the bonus post separately, but I always assumed they posted at basically the same time. I'm hoping that's the case, and I'll still get the 4.5 credits. Has anyone else had experience with this situation?

The 3 times I have used these, the 4 credits shows up 2 days later than the .5 credit. I sure would like to see something like this promo for September and beyond...anyone recieved anything even half as good as this promo lately?

Ditto. Not so much for the lower prices, but for the extra credits. I'd like to earn an extra credit or so for a one-day rental. Any ideas? I didn't see anything here that might work.

The 3 times I have used these, the 4 credits shows up 2 days later than the .5 credit. I sure would like to see something like this promo for September and beyond...anyone recieved anything even half as good as this promo lately?

Will the 4 point code work if you're not #1 Gold?

Will the 4 point code work if you're not #1 Gold?

It worked for me. But then I became Gold a couple of weeks after the bonus posted, so I don't know if Hertz checks later. I assume if they post the points thay don't go back and take them away later, but cannot say for sure.

I went to book a reservation for the 4.5 Southwest credits and found that the link provided earlier in this forum lead to a "this promotion has expired" message. However, I was still able to book the deal using the PC# provided (#968741). (As before, the rate was a bit higher and the Hertz agent seemed baffled that I still wanted to book it with the 4.5 credits.) Totally worth it for me.

I received the 4 bonus credits. I called to complain to Hertz and was given the run around about why the .5 credit posted and the 4 had not, but when I checked my acct. again today the 4 bonus credits had been added. I am very happy, indeed. :D

Hope this helps.

Pretty good Hertz promo code that I haven't seen posted here yet. 1 credit + $20 off a fullsize or larger car for a 2-day weekend rental would provide the best value:

Sorry, duplicate....

So to summarize for those who don't feel like reading 13 pages:

Now that the 4 credit bonus offer has expired (8/31), looks like the codes from posts #244 (1.5 credits) and #246 (1 credit) are the best Hertz deals as of today.

My experience for a 2-day Hertz rental for this weekend (all using CDP 205418):

PC 969651 $66.23
PC 955091 (midsize) $50.34 (+1.5 WN credits)
PC 971040 (fullsize) $57.05 (+1 WN credit)
PC 955092 (SUV only?) - would not compute (+1.5 WN credits)

PC 955091 expires 12/31/05
PC 971040 expires 2/28/06

Of course, I rented with Budget since they sent me a free day coupon and I'll take $20 cash over 1 soon-to-be devalued RR credit any day. :)

PC 955092 (SUV only?) - would not compute (+1.5 WN credits)

Isn't the above suppose to be PC 952092 for 1.5 WN credits for midsize on up (post #244)?

I believe the expiraition is 12/31/05.

I don't rental those Full Size "boats" mostly more because of parking issues.

I compiled the following from numerous of places that I forgot where came from what.

The following are current promos but ignore Full Size vehicle+ promos:
