I'd argue that this is a code worth killing--it associates FTers with a company which no longer exists and which exited the scene under dubious circumstances. I'd much rather be using valid codes from valid companies, so I can at least argue my case at the counter in being "associated with" said company in some way. How can Long Islander (or anyone) deny attempted fraud when standing at the Avis counter using this particular code?
If you're a Preferred member, you never go to the counter, so who's going to ask you about affiliation with a company whose corporate discount you're using?
