Fraud? I hardly think so. In most cases, the amount of value obtained is less than $500. Oh, and with the crack-pot staff working at Avis and/or Budget, that likely get paid less than 8 bucks an hour who generally have an "I don't give a sh*t attitude" I find it highly unlikely that anything would come of it. In fact, I was in a major rental centre last week, standing in line at the Avis counter and the person in front of me was a walk-up with no discount code. The agent said, "Oh, here, let me use the AAA code to give you 10% off, that should make things a bit easier for you." It was pretty clear, the customer from Quebec, Canada, was not a member of AAA!
