I am absolutely astounded at what a great rate this code provides. Does this code require affiliation with some group or ID to be presented when picking up the car? Or can anyone simply use it? Thx!

I would just use it and if your asked, tell them you got it from united airlines and you dont remember where.

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick reply :)

If I use this code: A153700 Avis Employee Discount Rate, will they find out who's employee or not?

I just tried l282800 on avis.com and it tells me the AWD number I entered was invalid? Anyone? :confused:

Welcome to FT, superman!

This code has been discussed many times (the search function is your friend), but I'll give you the executive summary: don't use it, you will likely be asked for ID/letter of authorization, and if you can't provide it, you will either walk or pay walk up rates.

Check the earlier pages of this thread for more detail.

I got a really good rate using the rate A074800 (citi financial leasure group) that ezmonee had recommended awhile back. But the funny thing is when I put my wizard number in the rate is doubled!!! So I didin't put it in, its for a two day rental in Long Beach, Anyone know why I can't put the wizard number in and have to check in at the counter?QUOTE]


So far that's the best I could find I just hope it's a good one I use the one from my bank (USAA) A177232 which is a military and they don't ask nothing. If anybody can find a better price please let me know

never mind I just read throught the last couple pages of the thread. :p

L282800 works just fine. I just used it.

You're right, it works for me too. Strange, maybe an avis.com fluke...

Ezmonee,

I'm a Preferred Select member and I was trying to follow your suggestion a few posts above.

I edited my Wizard profile and changed my AWD in the profile from my employer's to A074800, the Citifinancial one. When I tried making a reservation subsequently on avis.com, the site still says that the AWD# does not match my profile!

Is there like a time period that has to pass for the system to "recognize" my new AWD#? Thanks

I tried this also....the system did NOT accept my change to the AWD, saying it was "invalid". I suspect the Company name must change as well.

Understanding that this is a very long (26 page) thread --- and all of these recent AWDs questions have been addressed before --- here's a quick answer to your dilemma.

1) It's been posted a million times --- Do not use the AVIS EMPLOYEES' Discount AWD#. You will get in trouble.
2) It is your WIZARD number that determines which AWD#s are compatible and which are not.
3) For example, the AWD#D005297 (Amateur Sports Assistance Program) works with my WIZ#, gives a great discount and never requires ID proof.
4) On the other hand, AWD#A074800 Citigroup is incompatible with my WIZ# but it can be used if the WIZ# is omitted from the reservation.
5) By omitting the WIZ#, one loses out on getting rental credits for Preferred Select status and also doesn't get the automatic upgrades.

Moral: If you want Preferred Select status and upgrades and a good price, use an AWD# that is compatible with your WIZ# and does not require proof of membership. (I use D005297).

Tried changing my AWD# to D0005297 by deleting my old AWD#, logging out, and then logging back in (even cleared cookies & cache), but the Avis system will not allow the change.

What's also confusing in this very long thread is the right combination of what Rate Code works with AWD#.
