Pickup/Dropoff Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): LAX
Pickup Date and Time: 12/21/2012 5:00 PM
Return Date and Time: 12/25/2012 7:00 AM
Vehicle Size Preference: Standard SUV or larger
Memberships (AAA/USAA/etc): AAA, AA, DELTA, United, COSTCO, US Airways, Hertz #1 Gold, AMEX Plat, Hilton Diamond

So far have $382 w/ National Code: 8572130 - Standard SUV
Hertz: $554 Standard SUV - CDP: 1 PC: 153870

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In my findings I used the generic AAA HQ CDP# 1; you may want to locate your specific CDP before making a reservation.

I was unable to make PC# 153870 work with any of the CDPs; do you know what it does or any other information about it?

I did use PC# 175696, which saves you $5 per day, up to $35, in all of the rates I found; it gave me the lowest rate of any PC and did not affect the base rate. Here is what I found:

CDP:....AAA HQ....Amex Plat...Airline/Costco
SFAR....$379.94...$402.45........$423.27
FRAR....$529.99....$557.79........$590.97
MVAR...$542.62....$570.85........$605.06
FFAR....$870.62....$1,031.68......$971.67

In addition to these prices, you should also consider the benefits of each CDP when choosing which one to use.
