"DOUBLE DIP — credits earned under this promotion are in addition to the rewards and benefits you receive as an Emerald Club member".
what does this mean?
You do not get rental credits if you choose airline miles which, IMO, is a bad deal.
DOUBLE DIP means you will continue to earn unrestricted free days (or Airline miles if you so choose) per the Emerald Club program rules. For e.g. for a new EC member, you earn a free day for every 7 rentals. So at the end of 8 rentals, you will have 4 free days from this promotion, plus 1 free day from your 7 rentals.
Note that the Emerald Clud free days are shown when you log into your account o nthe left side. The free days from this promotion are via coupon codes which you can see at the redemption website. you have to enter the coupon code (up to 3, i think) for a reservation to redeem this promotion free days. While the unrestricted free days earned from your EC program are via a drop down menu where you choose the number of free days to be applied to an account.
Tip: Make sure to use your promotion free days before you do the others, as the EC free days do not expire.
Edit: I stand corrected, the EC Free Days do expire as per the rules below. However, you can use them to Luxury rentals and they are valid for longer than the ones from the promotion.
