In that case, it's kind of a win-win for you to use a "questionable" code. This might explain why, in almost all instances, little is done to "police" these discounts.
Just playing devil's advocate, in this case, why don't they just make the rentals a little more cheaper? I'm thinking they wanted to get a lot of business from one company and so made a special deal. Those who are not eligible would pay full price.

And I saw a incident in the National forum of what could happen if they do police it.
