Q1 2010 Car Rental Bonus Promos Here! (please contribute)
FOR Q2 2010 THREAD GO HERE
Q2 2010 Car Rental Bonus Promos!

Okay I am looking to consolidate. I am finding miles/points bonus promos all over the place - in the car rental forums, the airline forums, and (now) in MilesBuzz!

Please help me by posting links to promos and threads on bonuses for Q1 of 2010. I'm not looking for this to become a discussion thread. That should stay in the other threads (unless there is no other thread of course).

For hotel program bonuses please see KLACKER's post at mile marker 24. A Budget/Wyndham Rewards promo is at mm #47.

superdawg maintains an incredible website of miles/point bonuses. www.frequentflyerbonuses.com I check it out regularly. For the car rental bonuses at his site go here. He also summarized some great bonuses for international carriers at mile markers #11 and #32.

Great compilation. Thanks for all the hard work.

One question though:

1000-mile online booking bonus on any rental! links all lead to the UA miles offer. None of them are showing AA, DL etc bonuses.

Is it a UA specific offer or valid for other airlines as well?

I thought it was generic. You are right. It is UA only. Thanks.

Just two notes:

a) Renting from Hertz and Avis and crediting to Miles and More will earn 500 miles per rental;

b) renting from Hertz, Avis, Budger or Thrifty outside Australia using your Qantas FF earns you 700 points per rental;

None of those will charge you daily rental fees, and if you are on a 3 to 5 day trip and you are willing to change the car everyday, you could really rack up some points. Of course the daily set fees ($10 airport charge in some cases) will drive up the cost of those miles earmed by churning. Just an idea.

Thumbs up on the thread Evan! This is a great replacement for the website I used to maintain listing all the car miles promotions. The only addition I would suggest is a direct link for the wn thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/south...ntal-cars.html

Normally the mile-earning rate is 50 miles per day up to 4 days and 500 miles total for any rental of 5 days or longer (here). Although I have not used this promotion I think...

4-day rental example
- you will earn 1000 miles for booking on line
- you will get 20% off the cost of the rental
- you will earn triples miles of 600 ( 4 days * 50 miles/day * 3)
- Total miles earned: 1,600

5-day rental example
- you will earn 1000 miles for booking on line
- you will get 20% off the cost of the rental
- you will earn triples miles of 1500 ( 500 miles/rental * 3)
- Total miles earned: 2,500
