Just comparing his code to my Amex Travel is close to $1k savings for the 10 days I'm looking to rent!
When you're logged into his account it's probably just applying the AWD for his company. Negotiated corporate rates are often (but not always) lower than publicly available discount codes (Costco, AAA, AARP, etc.). While enforcement is spotty, you may be asked for proof at the rental counter. There may be other discounts you're eligible for that come without risk. Worth looking into.
