I had already given up on this, but now that you ask I checked my accoung and the rental has not been credited despite the Finnish lady having made a request separately.
The rental was in Germany and I had done everything according to instructions.
Maybe I give them a final try on Monday. If it won't work, then nevermore Budget

I'm not sure if it's a Budget or a CC issue, but in any case probably I'll just stick to Hertz and 1100 VS miles (=1650 HHonours). Those at least seem to post without any extra effort from my part.

I did call Budget again, but the rep was like me, not knowing what to do. She promised to escalate this somehow anyway, so wait and see.
I also called ClubCarlson if they can do anything from their end, but no, they only promised to look into it if I can send a copy of my correspondence with Budget, which I did.
Figure...this was already too much time wasted

It may be a European Budget problem as I have not had any problems with US rentals with Alamo and I'll let you know about Budget.
I believe that I called Avis USA to have this remedied, not Budget when I had my European rental.

I can only recommend NOT to use Budget-CC rental promos

Been 8+ weeks. Still nothing. It's most certainly a CC issue as Budget sent my points over 3 days after I turned in my rental. CC did give me 3,000 points for my troubles. They said that they can see that this is geared to post but they can't tell me when it will hit my account. That was exactly a week ago. Why they can make 3,000 points instantly appear but not 9,000 from a legit following of the promo terms, I don't know.
I'm sure that I will eventually get them, but it's not worth the chasing that you have to do. I'd rather get Southwest points from Alamo that I know will post without me having to follow-up.

Wilco, they both should be posted together:
As you can see from the above, one of my US car rentals did post within about 1 month.
Sadly, however, a prior US car rental has yet to post, so I will wait a bit longer for that one, as it still is within the time-frame for them to post same.
Quite frankly, I would be willing to take fewer points if I knew that my points would post within the week that Alamo seems to accomplish with some sort of regularity as others have reported herein.
