I tried to make a reservation today for a weekend in June using the hyperlink from the 'free weekend' code listed in Coupon Details of my account. Got an error message that the code, that self-populated on the form, was invalid.

I read the T&C for the award and believe I met them all in trying to make the reservation. Are there blacked-out airport codes that don't honor the coupons? My attempt this morning was for Nebraska, either OMA or LNK.

Like the original poster, I have usually ignored the free weekend notices. I think the terms of the coupon are restrictive and I rarely need a weekend-only reservation. When I got the first coupon notice I did try with no luck. Have tried a couple of times since and have not been able to successfully make a reservation using these amazing awards that are a benefit of my Avis membership.
