I follwed the link as you suggested (www.budget.com/american) and not only was my discount better than the Walmart or Costco code, I will get an upgrade as well as the triple miles. The coupon says that this is good until 12/31/2006. The link will fill in the BCD and Coupon for you.
I am finding HNL in July for four days to have the best/same price ($168) as other codes through this link for a full size car. So the potential for an upgrade and triple points makes this offer a good choice for me.
The offer states "on your next qualifying rental of three to five days on an intermediate or larger car." So if your rental is longer than the five days you don't have the option for an upgrade and lose opportunity for AA points? I am plugging this code in for nine days for KOA and getting a good price. It is coming in at $331 versus $316 for W116168, so if I could get potential upgrade and AA points, that would be nice.
Further review from aa.com shows that the triple mile offer and the standard offer of 50 points have the same BCD number U027400, with the coupon number of UUAZ009 being entered automiatically for the triple mile offer.
I am not up on rental stuff, so if anyone could give me a head's up on whether this offer includes rentals past three to five days? My interpretation is no and I should be happy with the price and leave it at that. However, the lure of a potential uprgrade and AA points makes me want to throw it out for another opinion. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
I have read post where Costco & Walmart Budget BCD codes and other Budget BCD codes worked for others but I can't seem to get any discounted quote using any BCD codes whether making reservation on airport or off airport locations. Can anyone advise me how to get these discounts before my rental next weekend?
Called the Entertainment number of 1-888-724-6212 and asked for the lowest rate in Maui(OGG) for 7/5-7/11. They gave me a rate of 157.18 including all taxes and fees. Noticed the BCD # of V222904 on the receipt. I think its a good rate, even for an Economy.

Used this one the other day:
BCD # X739200
It's from Rentalcarmomma.com. I was able to get a Cadillac CTS for less than what I could find an intermediate anywhere else. It was a one day rental, and it was $36.80 before taxes. I think the midsize was a couple of dollars less, but the CTS with XM Radio was VERY nice.

Went to pick up car on Maui. I was asked for a HI license or mail to prove an HI address. this disount is only available to island residents. When I called the Entertainment # they told me that was the lowest rate available to me. I used my MA address and phone number and a credit card with my MA address to pay for the rental. After a 9 hour ride from Chicago I just would not pay a full price rental. The manager would not give me the discount. Finally someone found a BCD # to get a price of $171. with taxes and fees. I accepted it, but I was really tired, grumpy and sure I would never use Budget again.
Hi All, I'm new around here and found this place to extremely helpful. I just wanted to share a code I found from www.islandair.com in Hawaii. It is U030087 and it gives great rates for Hawaii, not sure if it wrks anywhere else. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting that follow up! I already had a car reserved and changed my code # to your code) for a MUCH better rate! Then I read your follow up. lol I think perhaps I'll let it ride and see how I can do with them if they say no.
The codes I've seen here do not seem to provide for upgrades, or are for weekly rental upgrades. I have a compact at AZO this weekend, but don't really want to be in a compact. Any discounts with double upgrades or similar for a 2 day weekend rental? The $$ difference is not the point, just trying to get something for nothing--the FT way.

Hi ctuttle--
Did you have any problem using this code? Did they question it at all? Reason I'm asking is I found some great rates with it too, and so went ahead and printed out that webpage from Rentalcarmomma. Then, I noticed that the code that's on the "member savings card" on the right is actually X793200, unlike the one in red on the left! Seems like maybe a typo? Anyway the rates I found were SO much less than almost every other code, I had begun to wonder if it was legit or if I'd get to the counter and be told I couldn't have it! So if you used it without problem, I'm much encouraged!!

Used the code this for a one week rental in Denver, it saved me $150 in a compact rental--price went from $317 to 159,
Thanks,

PS -- does anyone know what BCD # X739200 code stands for?
