Budget - Do you only get RapidRez number after first rental is paid for?

sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and didn't find anything. I normally rent with National, but for my Florida trip in less than 2 weeks, Budget prices are so much better I just have to go this way. With National, you create your Emerald information online. I can't figure out how or if you can do this on the Budget website to get a RapidRez account/number? Maybe a dumb question, but I hope someone will answer anyway. Thanks!

Be careful with RapidRez. I have found that using this feature often times results in a higher rate. It's a little difficult to notice since the reservation is so "rapid". :D

It is strange how difficult they make it (not obvious direct links). Click on "sign in" under the frequent renter tab, and there is an enrollment link there.

But, just keep in mind that you can't add your RR# to a current reservation. At least, I can't find a way to.

Thanks, nbs2! I looked and looked and couldn't get to the spot you led me to. I am now signed up.

Sammythebarber, I did find that when making my res if I clicked the Rapid Rez box, the amount for the rental was over $400/wk! I cancelled that one and because I was already logged in, was able to put the NWA BCD code in, redo the res and get the $145 AI price for my RSW midsize rental I originally booked. I had to deselect the RapidRez option, but my rapidRez # is on the booking....kind of a weird way to do it, but it works. now hopefully, I will get credit!
