He said it was still valid and I asked whether I needed to bring my ID and he said the reservation system would tell him if that were necessary, but it did not. Up to you if you want to give it a go. On my upcoming Tampa rental, it is around $80 less than the lowest rate I found for 5 days in February.

Please let us know whether you had any issues if you decide to give it a whirl.

No matter which code I use, I can't get a rate as low as I got it via www.avis.pl. Renting a car in Jamaica in December, 7 days. Hope everything goes smooth - not the usual problems with AVIS

Seems like if you select your residency to be Poland even in www.avis.com, you get rates that are way lower than anything else. Has anyone tried this when they actually have a US driver's license?

You really do NOT want to call them and ask if a certain code is valid.

It only kills good codes because you just tipped them off.

I'd argue that this is a code worth killing--it associates FTers with a company which no longer exists and which exited the scene under dubious circumstances. I'd much rather be using valid codes from valid companies, so I can at least argue my case at the counter in being "associated with" said company in some way. How can Long Islander (or anyone) deny attempted fraud when standing at the Avis counter using this particular code?

A colleague recently used this in Miami over the holiday, said no problem with pickup or drop off, car was 50% less than any other offering and included LDW..

Anyone know a similar code to MUGA050 that is valid for 2016? The original code expired end of 2015? It gave $40 off on a weekly rental I believe. Thanks!

I tried this code and got some huge discounts on some weekly domestic rates. I called Avis and they told me it was for Peregrine Systems Meetings.

Hey I was wondering if any of you have used the USAA rental code with Avis? I used it with Budget and never had a problem but this is my first time using Avis so I signed up with the preferred program and will have to go to the desk to get my rental. Will they ask for USAA membership proof.
