New rental car promotions?

The Rapid Rewards site has not been updated with any new promotions, most of them expired on December 31st. I'm leaving for a trip on Monday and was hoping to get some double credit offers.

The only currently valid promotions I'm aware of are:
Hertz double credit, for weekend rentals only, posted on Rapid Rewards site
Avis Triple Credit for weekly rate rentals, received on a flyer with drink coupons

I'm not staying the weekend and I'll be renting in 2 locations during the week. So I was hoping for an offer that only requires a 2-day rental. Anyone know if there's anything that isn't on the site?

Check out the Rapid Report Fall 2008...

Some of the same car rental promotions that apparently expired on 12/31/08 are listed on the Fall 2008 Rapid Report as active. E.g. I'm currently in a Budget rental that should get me 1.5 RR points. Time will tell...
