actually the awd numbers only point to accounts. perfect example.
AAA is a999900
a999901
a999902 and so on and so forth. Each different number is a different club for bookkeeping purposes. Although it is POSSIBLE that the awd number single digits might give better rates than others, its highly unlikely.
Another example is the armed forces/military govt code.
a555500
Many from norfolk virginia use a555513 but its the same exact discount as a person from pearl harbor at a555590

I tried a bunch of AWD numbers found in this thread for a test booking next week. 1 day rental (24 hours) standard size car from OAK. Country of residence was Canada. This was a week-day rental (not weekend).
Basic rate (no number) was $54. My number was the only one that gave $37.25 (30% discount off basic rate). A153700 was the only one that gave $29.
I think numbers that end in 00 or 000 are more "powerful" than others. These numbers must be geared for specific locations, or weekend vs weekday, or for special events in specific cities and may give better discounts when applied to the situation they were designed for.
Anyways, I guess I'm happy that my corporate AWD seems to be pretty good compared to these.
It's wierd that some numbers give rates way beyond the basic rate (ie no-number) of $54.
Are there even any coupons for weekday rentals?
