I use D005297 frequently and hadn't had a problem with it until last week when I was asked for an ID. This happened at an Avis neighborhood (not airport) location, which did not have an Avis Preferred option (where they preprint the contract and I just grab the keys and go). Have never had a problem with this code at an airport location. (Ironically, I was going to rent the car to transport an amateur sports team to a tournament).
I use it so much that I'm willing to pay to join the organization, but I've not found it (the organization) via online searches. Any ideas? I've found it on this site as "Amateur Sports Assistance Program", but Google's not come up with anything.
BTW, D005297 usually works for one way rentals as well, with no mileage charges (within CA at least). I've found it's not as good for weekday rentals - A074800 is the one I've had best luck with for short duration (one or two day) rentals that don't include a weekend.
Anybody else having issues with this code? I just booked with Avis using this code and don't want to have any issues when we get there. It is at an airport location. Same as the poster above me, I'd be willing to pay for a membership to use this, but can't find it anywhere on the web.
sorry to say it, but if you read even the last couple PAGES of this thread you will find your answer.
(here's a hint if you have no patience for that sort of thing - NO)
I did read the last few pages, the first few pages, and a few in between. I guess my question didn't come out the way I intended.
No one in the past few pages posted that they had used this code and had no issues in the past month-ish - only one person who had problems that had not previously. I was more asking if anyone has had success very recently with it.

Sorry for the confusion!
Maybe I wasn't clear. Here are dates I have used the code D005297 in the past couple of months:

Looks no miles at all with D005297 at SFO
Hi - I just made a reservation at SFO for 1-week in Aug with D005297 and MUAA046 (AAdvantage coupon).
The system accepted both with a good rate, but NO place to specify my AAdvantage number. In the confirmed reservation for "Miles/Points" it says N/A. Same if I do not put a coupon in (no place for AAdvantage#).
Does this means D005297 provides a good rate but NO miles at all ?
A search for 'Entertainment' Book revealed nothing, so, is it possible to use an AWD such as g930700 or d005297 and combine it with an Entertainment book coupon # such as MUGA043 for $40 off, or UUGA041 double upgrade? The Ent. Bk has AWD B790000 but the rate isn't as good as the aforementioned.
FWIW, the terms on the EB c/o state "may not be used in conjunction with any other coupon, promotion or offer except your EB discount" and I believe I read some kind of similar exclusions on the codes above but am not familiar enough with the process to know for sure. Can someone in the know please clarify? TIA

I don't use EB coupons, but Avis generally will let you mix and match AWD & Coupons.

I'm looking to rent an economy car for 4 days in September and go from Miami to Orlando.
Here are the "good" codes I've found thus far:
A113400 - $98 (Florida State Employees)
C031529 - $120
G930700 - $122
D005297 - $131 (Amateur Sports?)
K199060 - $131 (Orlando Convention Visitors)
Which should I use? I've all but eliminated A113400 from what I've read. Are any of them more likely to go through than others? I think I'd have best luck with K199060.
Any advice would be appreciated. If anyone has other codes that are decent, please let me know.
Thanks!

Welcome to Flyertalk!
First, I would take the time to enroll in the Avis Preferred program. By doing so, this will allow you to bypass the counter and go straight to your car without being haggled by a rep at the counter.
Second, after enrolling in the program; take the time to read through this thread as there are a ton of codes out there that would benefit you in Florida.
I'm actually signing up for the Avis Preferred right now, but it asks for me for my AWD # & Company Name. Should I leave that blank and just type in the code each time or should I store something on file?
Nevermind... just tried putting the Orlando Convention Visitors AWD and it said it can't verify it... so I just left the field blank.
