In all honestly, this thread IS 108 pages and 1600 posts at this point. Maybe one of use should cull together the detes, and get them back on page one?
I agree... when I was told to read through the thread because there are alot of Florida deals, I kind of laughed. I made it through about 30 pages, then jumped to the end and read the last 5. That's why I posted the codes I did, I figured someone would look at them say "Oh... but you forgot about this one" "Or don't try the Florida State Employee code... everyone is getting shot down".
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?
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!
Hi there! I'm new myself, but I thought I would pass along the information that someone passed on to me. Well, firstly, the Florida State Employee code requires a state id (from what I've read of this thread).
Here are the 2 that were recommended to me: Orlando Convention and visitors code - K199060
Florida Visitor Bureau - J868801
Looking through the thread (search this thread option is WONDERFUL, btw ) there were posts that stated that they (both of them) were available to the general public. When I checked the rates I got $131 for both codes (weekly). Since I am not booking for Orlando, or dropping off in Orlando, I opted for the second code (not sure if the first would work - but better safe than sorry). In a little less than 2 weeks I will find out how it goes. I will post back when I find out.
Is there any way to get this upgrade to PC if you're already Avis Preferred? I signed up with my corporate account as Avis Preferred a year or two ago, long before I started looking at FT, and now am wondering if I screwed myself and would have to start a new membership. Unfortunately it looks like the Continental program requires you to call them and give them your Continental info for them to upgrade you, which I obvs. don't have.

"Has anyone used code B116099 for Lax. It saves me about $40 but I want to make sure I won't get questioned using this code. "
this code is better than AAA member. I am going to LAX and will be using this code.
randeve58 - Let me know what happened? If anyone can provide a feedback before july 30th, that would be great...thanks in advance.

Hi, I used the code K199060 and got the same rate as B116099. I then called Avis to confirm that I could use the code and they said yes and no ID or proof needed. This code is from the Orlando Visitors and Convention group and I also went on their website and found the code available for use. So I would use the K199060 just to be safe.

Please DO NOT call Avis or any other travel vendor to question codes or discounts you find here or on other sites. That is the number one reason these discounts stop working.
If you are concerned about it, I suggest you make a backup reservation elsewhere.

It's sad that we have to keep reminding people isn't it?

Hi,
I called them and said a friend gave me the code and they asked where they got it from and I said the Orlando Visitors group. I DID NOT mention this site! I won't do that again, but I didn't realize that was "not allowed". Accept my apologies
I also went on the Orlando Visitors website and found the code there
One question, I found this AWD# Q339400 CPN# MUWA221 which is said to give you 25% off plus $30 off. My question is if this cpn code work alone by giving $30 off or it only works with the specific AWD number, coz I found D005297 giving me better rate and seemed to be stackable with this coupon.
