I've only rented at Advantage once previously, and I don't remember the place for the coupon on the main booking page. Anybody know if Advantage will give me a hard time with the Hertz coupon?
Advantage always had the CDP field. The PC code field is new though. The field started showing up on the Advantage website about a month ago. There are Advantage-specific PC codes. The only one I know about right now is 164323 which gets you $25 off a weekly rental of an SUV or Minivan, but I suspect that they will utilize it more in their marketing efforts in the coming months.
As for the Hertz PC codes working (not all of them work based on my investigation), it's not surprising since Advantage is using Hertz's back-end reservation system. It's tough to say though whether it will get flagged at the time of rental. OTOH, it would seem that the risk is fairly minimal. If they deny the coupon, you'll pay a bit more.
If you do decide to go ahead with this, please do report back on the result. Thanks!
