- No 1-2-F credit for options on 1-day rental (SXM, etc)
- If applying 1-2-F coupons for a rental, as least one day must be paid in order for a National credit to be gained; but at least two- to get any 1-2-F points for anything associated with that rental!
- On longer rentals , 300 points are earned every 4 days

2018-2019: August 23, 2018 through February 28, 2019 - coupons valid until June 13, 2019

2017-2018: August 24, 2017 through February 28 2018, with 12F coupons valid until June 15 2018

2016-2017: August 25, 2016 through February 28 2017

2015-2016: August 2015 through end January 2016, with 12F coupons valid until June 15th 2016

Thank you. Exactly the answer I needed. I'll make the trek to the airport to pick up a National car, I guess...

Though - the T&Cs of my Neighborhood Rental bonus clearly state I can use it up to 3x for a total of 600 pts. YMMV I guess.

Glad to help. I used Enterprise once during the promotion but prefer National even when it means a hike to the airport.

Is there a size restriction on vehicles rented from Enterprise to qualify (I have the 200pt for Enterprise rentals offer)? It turns out i am going to be 2 nights short of requaling for EE, so I'm looking at the cheapest rental at Enterprise (weekend $16/day rate). Plus I'll get the 12F points and it will push me into another free day which I can use at XMas in Chicago.

I know midsize is the minimum for a National rental, but I don't see anything about Enterprise rentals

You must reserve mid-size or above and drive it for two consecutive days. If the Enterprise location does not have ICARs and gives you a SCAR, SUV or any other upgrade instead that is fine. OTOH should they not have ICARs and offer you a CCAR make sure you are credited as having driven an ICAR or you won't receive credit.

OTF is a National program for Emerald Club members. You can still rack up points via renting from Enterprise via Drive Alliance but you must make the reservation via your EC number. Could be wrong but don't think pure Enterprise rentals not associated with National/Emerald Club count.

I know that is the reg for National rentals, but I see nowhere that lists a size for an Enterprise rental. Specifically, the site says:

A qualifying rental is the paid rental, via the Emerald ClubŽ, of a Midsize or larger vehicle at participating National Car RentalŽ locations in the 50 United States, including the District of Columbia, for a period of two or more consecutive days during the promotion.
Emphasis is mine. It is only talking about the size restrictions for a National rental. The rental length is also in relation to a National rental. And both are in relation to earning points for the rental, which I'm not interested in. I'm interested in earning the bonus points. All it says in the bonus details is:

Earn 200 bonus points when you rent with our Drive Alliance partner, Enterprise Rent-A-Car,Ž at neighborhood locations. You can earn up to three Enterprise neighborhood bonuses for up to 600 bonus points.
It doesn't even mention the defined term "qualifying rental" for the bonus

As far as making the reservation , that's easy (once I figured out how to add my Emerald Club number into an Enterprise reservation since it's kinda hidden).

Makes sense. Details say "on a qualifying rental" which is defined as a 2 day, midsize rental.

As a follow up to my question, I called National to get clarification on minimum rental size for the Enterprise bonus. Agent looked at the terms and agreed there was nothing that limited minimum size nor minimum rental length. She put a note on my account to that effect and gave me a reference ID to reference in case I had problems. Started the rental today (smallest thing available) and return on Monday. We'll see what happens. I didn't even take the car off the lot and they were OK with that. I just have the keys and will return them on Monday.

I was expecting that a 'qualifying rental' would be a rental qualifying for a National Rewards credit ... not necessarily a One Two Free credit ... I also had a National customer service rep see it that way, and filed a trouble ticket requesting credit

4aks, u da man to convince CSR while obviously discussing 1-2-F points and not some "other promo", lol. Pls do update us on resolution: this would have implication for all kinds of points: GPS, SXM, gas, app...I'm especially unclear about the following: what treatment do you get on a two-day rental, where first day is paid by 1-2-F coupon?? Is this qualifying rental, and what categories of points will be credited?

Thanks!

It's indeed interesting that Weekly (min.5days) gets 300+200=500
8days gets 300+300=600, and each subsequent 8days will get 600

I didn't get any points out of the trouble ticket they just never processed it

And I think you're going two need two paid days (no coupons) to get further 1-2-Free credits of any type

You get 3 Free Days per 30 day consecutive rental. It used to be four, but their system recalculated how the points were awarded and reduced it by a day. BTW, this is definite - I'm on a year long rental - so I see how many are deposited every month.
