Any advice for this guys?
If theyre strict with it I could try photoshopping or make a fake letter with a corporate partner of theirs. Anybody know anything?
It looks like this AWD code got out but is only intended for Amazon employees renting under their corporate contract. It isn't the deal where you get an Amazon gift card reward in lieu of points - that requires linking your Amazon account in your profile (where you save favorite AWDs).
If you do use this AWD and don't qualify, note that whatever insurance coverage comes with it won't apply, and your credit card coverage may be denied as well. The rental agency may also require proof of eligibility (e.g. an Amazon employee badge), and reprice your rental at rack rate if you can't produce one. Per the discussion on Doctor of Credit, this seems more likely at off-airport locations, but it's still a risk either way.
