3 day promo returning car after 2 days?

I am signed up for the Flying blue 50K miles promo that requires a 3 day rental. I booked a 3 day rental but might need to return the car earlier than schedule (close to 48h). Can I still pay and get the 3 day credit? what is the process?

It's not possible that I know of. I really doubt a location will hold the keys and not check-in until later, but you can always ask. You might have better luck at smaller locations.

Another *potential* option would be to list the check-out time earlier than your actual check-out time. If you're preferred, they might put the contract in the car for when you say you'll be there. Then you can get there later and leave without them really knowing when you took the car out.

Not usually... 2+ hours typically is more than an extra day, but 1 hour usually will be billed as 2 days, 1 hour. The daily/hourly rate should be listed in your reservation.

It didn't work for me (last year) but then nothing posted after the 3rd or 4th rental...
