As of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

AWD E153702 gives a very big discount outside of USA. I used it successfully in SCL in 2012, SYD & ZRH in 2013. No id requested. It was advertised in ABC Madrid in 1986 for the general public. It may now be an Avis employee discount code. ID once asked for from an FT poster at LHR.

Avis' website is now requiring a Last Name as well as AWD#. I've tried a few codes, but the last name requirement is making it impossible to go further (comes back with a message saying the combo is invalid). How are you all getting past that requirement?

Whoops.... nm... I was confused by the box for the Wizard entry. When I enter the code in the discount code box, all is well and there is no name requested. Meh... blame my embarrassing lapse on price comparison fatigue. 
Last year when I tried using my old reliable AWD code that I'd been using for years for my annual one-way car rental, I was challenged for the first time at my neighborhood Avis. Luckily I somehow managed to remember the name of the company it belongs to and said that since I was on a personal trip I had no business cards with me, and they let it go.
This year I'm a little nervous. This year that code is reducing the rate from an insane $200+ per day rate down to a much better $40-ish/day rate. The price difference has never been that huge before. I really don't want to get stuck paying $200+. Are they now challenging people more for the codes? Or was I just unlucky enough last year to get stuck with the one agent in the system who bothered to ask? That rate is the only semi-sane rate I found that was offered by ANY of the car rental companies, unfortunately.

Got this error.
This coupon can only be used with a specific AWD number. Please select from the dropdown below and enter the AWD Number, or proceed with your reservation (coupon will be removed).

I guess you could say that it looks risky. At least two people report trouble (posts #1547, #2228), but others say they had no trouble. You should search for the code both in this thread and in Google to see what you think of other people's reports. If you do decide to try it, you should have a backup reservation with a different rental company just in case.

AA and Priceline combined = 1500 for 3 day for cheap
I just tried ALL of my AVIS AWD's (except the recently black-listed 'C031529' [Thanks Acrossenger for the Warning!] and the DO NOT USE ones) and the best rate for a mid-size 3-day rental in Seattle , WA was about $137 (incl. fees & taxes). So I gave Priceline a try and I was able to shave off almost 50% !!! 
Yeah this quote is from 6yrs ago, but it is true. You find out what the priceline AWD is A686200 and then use it for via the AVIS site and you will get a good rate. Then combine it with the AA 1,500 mile MUAA070 coupon code, and voila great deal with bonus miles

It appears that booking through Costo Travel is better than booking directly at Avis' own website, using the same Costco AWD# (A108396) and the same coupon code. For a weekly rental at LAX, the rate quoted by Costco Travel is roughly $10 cheaper than Avis. I wonder why.

Must use an AMEX card to pay, and you will receive 5% off the lowest prepaid rate. Couple this with the MUWA028 $35 off a week coupon and in many cases, you've got a good deal. (especially for vehicles not typically discounted much in most AWD rates)
