here or use I.D. 7014691 and Rate/Product Code WKND. Dedicated FlyerTalk thread
here (credit to
Beckles). Details, terms, and conditions:
While this rate won't qualify for double, triple, or even quadruple credit, you're still eligible to get the standard Rapid Rewards half credit and the savings, in most instances, will dwarf the loss of any bonus Rapid Rewards credits.
This offer is pretty much under a different code now, even though it was supposed to last until 5/31/09: 7014730 is the one to use, not 7014731, although I got the old code to work at STL last weekend. It often generates an error message for me when trying to use it at
www.southwest.com.
The old code just gave me a quote of $70+ before taxes/fees for three days in HOU for a compact this coming weekend, but the new one gives $30. I have NOT had to use the WKND Rate/Product code.
Midsizes are $14, full-size $18, premium $20.
Or if you go to
www.alamo.com and click on the "Hot Deals" tab at top, it comes up at left. Currently, it's the 4th listing down.
This $10 Alamo deal has now worked several times for me, and I get the .5 RR credit every time, even for 1-day rentals.
