dr. z for the month of september.the combo you posted gives rates actually BETTER than the 'magic 57' code.

good work.

unfortunately the rate goes up after october by $30 but it is still very reasonable.

I wish it gave the same rate all for the remainder of the year

I find you have to check daily, b/c the rates definitely fluctuate quite a lot.

E.g. I booked a Premium a couple weeks ago for DCA; 5 days, all taxes and fees, $157! But I rechecked the price today, and it's higher, $181

Found where I got it from? I've just been playing around with the codes the past few days in anticipation for an upcoming rental, and found these as the best combinations. In particular, ND2119071Q, works especially well.

And to the second question, yes.

does anyone know which coupon codes can be stacked together, if any, or do they only stack with free days?

Also, how do the rate codes affect pricing?

5026128 is for ohio state apparently and is giving some decent rates...hope it helps someone.

also 35 off is great.

I dont understand why nationals website has areas for like 10 coupon codes to enter but they never can be combined..if anyone know how to combine free days with 35 off..please enlighten us..otherwise i think national needs to fix their site so that you can only enter 1 coupon per ressie

Coupon Codes

The reason for the three coupon code fields is for the one two free promotion, for which you can use up to three of those free days per reservation (not to be confused with earned free days which can't be combined with any coupons). I still miss the good old days (b/f they revamped it in Nov. 2006) when there was one coupon field and a drop down of 1-7 (like they still have by the earned free days area) for how many coupons you had- so you put in a code for $20 off and then selected 7 and you had $140 off or even better was the $50 Air Alaska one, and if they didn't ask you for your coupons you were golden (ethics aside). Ah, the good old days. Woe unto us.

Don't forget to use the Rate/Product Code: EWEB in combination with your contract ID and Coupon code.

Economy $21.99 - Compact $21.99 - Midsize $25.99 - Standard $29.99 - Fullsize $33.99

Anyone know of any other useful rate code IDs?


EWEB works only on rentals of 4 days or less, and gives you cheaper rates.

* Weekend rate requires pickup between 9:00 a.m. Thursday through 11:59
p.m. Saturday with a Saturday overnight keep.
* 4-day maximum
* Vehicle must be returned by pick up time on Monday or higher daily rates
apply.
* Valid at participating US locations only.
* Valid for rentals picked up by 12/15/08.

For weekend rentals, I find EWEB only works with coupon code "ND210907SM" (AMEX $20 off weekends).

For all other codes, it seems to give a "coupon cannot be applied" error.

Trying out the various codes today, I got a message saying 5037126 is not a valid contract ID. (About halfway down the list above, called "continental specials").

Edit:

Also, NF14, NF49, and NF60 all gave an error "Coupon will expire before rental". (My dates were Oct 2nd thru Oct 5th, 2008).

If it helps anyone, I was renting LGA returning LGA, Thurs thru Sunday, and my "best combo" was 5007160/NF3439JDR. This combo actually gave 15% off, and a free weekend day from a United offer. I believe the NWA free weekend day coupons would all work, if you prefer those instead.

Thanks for the tip. This got me the best combo so far, and I did use the EWEB from above as well, making it 5007160/NF3439JDR/EWEB

It was for a 4-day rental mid-size rental at Tampa Airport (Wed. night - Sun. morning), and the total was $111.

Edited to add that the post below is correct. My mistake, the correct combo is 5007160/NF3439JDR only.
