"As a Southwest Airlines Companion Pass Member you can receive double Rapids Rewards credit (that's 1.0 credit instead of the standard 0.5 credit) on all qualifying Hertz rentals in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada through March 31, 2010.
To receive double Rapid Rewards credit, at time of reservation you must provide:
I don't know if the extra half credit comes from WN or from Hertz. I'd guess if it's Hertz there is no way for them to know who's CP and who's not... so YMMV.
To receive double Rapid Rewards credit, at time of reservation you must provide:
- Your Rapid Rewards membership number
- Rapid Rewards discount number CDP 205418, and
- PC# 947785."

Double RR credit is no great deal, so I would not bother if you are not CP. Look for another promo that is not targeted.

I'll agree with that, but the any rental part made it worth passing along... (As in, not many one day double credit deals...) I'd not think this being the best bet in most circumstances, but a one day rental...

AKA corporate ID number 7014923. Link
Save Up to 30% and Earn Triple Rapid Rewards® Credit on any rental of two days or more through December 31, 2009.
Get 1.5 Credits instead of the normal .5 Credit. Offer valid on any rental of two days or more through December 31, 2009.
*When using the Advanced Car Search option, enter corporate ID number 7014923 to receive the discount and Rapid Rewards credit. If using the standard booking option, the code will be applied automatically.
On this Alamo/Southwest special offer, I rented this one in PHL Dec 11-13 (2 days). I only received One credit. Obviously they had my correct RR number. Did I miss somthing in the offer fine print?
If this was just an oversight on the other end, is it better to report the discrepancy to Alamo, Southwest RR, or both?

any SWA promo codes for rental cars
Is it just me or do others find that if you rent a car from the SW list of rental cars that the rates are very high. I know from renting direct from Hertz that if you want to credit SW or AA they will charge an additional surcharge which is like a buck. The rental rates from SW in MDW have always been much higher than any of my corporate rates. It turns into a very expensive extra credit as much as I love credits.

My Avis rental from the last week of December showed FF MLS/PNTS EARNED 2 on the receipt. This was a 5+ day rental with the $30 off a weekly rental coupon MUWA130 and AWD K024701. The points have not yet posted to my account. Last I remembered, this was a triple points code not quadruple. Anyone else have any experience with it?

Don't forget that you can usually apply coupons.
It may be destination-dependent. MDW is pretty bad during the week, but I've sometimes made "rental runs" on weekends.
But I've been Hotwiring lately for even better deals. Just saved over 50% in MCO with a 5-day rental.

question alamo coupon
quick question I don't rent frequently and I found if I use southwest TRIPSWA for the ALAMO corp code and
Alamo $25 off any 3 day rental - coupon code AD5691JDV expires 2/28/2010. I can get a 2 day rental in houston hobby airport for 27.16(total) for a compact (all I need)
this seems too good and I don't want any problems
the coupon seems to be for quicksilver members, should I get the membership to be safe or am I just paranoid?

Anybody going to do a compilation for promos active at the start of 2010? I'm particularly interested in promos above the bare minimum half credit for one-day rentals.

I'm so used to looking on FT for these promos that I rarely look elsewhere. My friend reminded me to look here recently:
