Avis Alaska is very stingy with discount codes across their entire footprint. (It's one franchise for the whole state.) They seem to have blocked most affiliation discount codes and even many corporate discount codes.

Trust me, we have north of 100 discount codes for Avis on file and even with our automated system checking them all more often than not come up empty when searching locations in Alaska. It's not just the Goldbelt Hotel location, it's all of them, especially outside Anchorage and Fairbanks--Kodiak, Sitka, Skagway, etc., where competition is less of a factor.

If you (hint, hint) work for a large corporation that has a negotiated discount with Avis for its employees, those may work and take a small discount off, but rarely do legitimate affiliation discounts (not to mention promotional coupons) work in smaller towns in Alaska.

Definitely--heck, that's what our system does every day!

But in the rural Alaska locations mentioned by itskeb, we've noticed rates are pretty stable. We've booked cars in Kodiak, Sitka, Skagway, Kenai, etc. and really, rates don't change. Perhaps because competition is so nonexistent, they just set their rates and don't bother to do anything with them until they sell out.

But absolutely outside of Alaska, rates change all the time, sometimes as often as hourly, so it pays to pay attention to your reservation.
