Have you tried any of the codes on the Sticky at the top of the Avis thread? Basically, it's trial & error to see what's best. Other than the Avis employee code (and DON'T try it), it's tough to tell what'll be cheapest for your needs.

Good luck

After 25k, the other 5k promo will still be available for 4+ day rentals.

Is there anything in the T&C's that says/implies you can't rent more than one car at once? If not, in theory do 5 wkend rentals at once and get it over with.

This is Citicorp Leisure Travel. I have used it several times. No id - no questions.

This is the Amateur Sports Assistance program and I have used this dozens of times. No id - no questions. It works everywhere I have tried. It's a very low convention rate.

You should be ok if you do it before they print your receipt. As such, when you get to the return area, stop the returns agent and head inside with your gas and mileage level. Ask them to apply the coupon and make sure your DL ffp # is on your res.

+1 Stop the guy/gal with the hand-held return machines. When trying to get proper credit going to the counter AFTER the return was processed in the garage it would appear I got the credit but then I would have to fight for it later via email. Returning at the counter and insisting that they check the FF number and coupon code always has worked without trouble. Mrp Alert is right ... (and my hero).

Regarding the coupon codes here, to qualify, don't we have to use:

Mention coupon # MUAA088
Use AWD # K817600

these codes? I'm assuming others won't qualify for the 5K miles.

the coupon is what's getting you the bonus miles. from the t&c
Please mention coupon number MUAA088 to take receive bonus miles offer

the AWD they advise you to use only gets you maybe 25% off rates. It is not necessary to use to get the miles. The coupon is the key.

You should be able to use other AWD codes if they allow for FF mile earning. DL is HOPING that you use their AWD.

I need some help with the codes people are using for california (smf/sfo) or florida (tpa). trying all the codes above, the lowest I can get is $51.80 ai with D005297 for a 2 day at smf. considering 10,000 miles is $100 off a PWM ticket and likewise, 5000 miles is $50 off a ticket, and I'm spending $50 to get 5000 miles.... I can't make this work for me yet. least not like last years games. anybody having any better luck?

fwiw, I have no necessary rentals planned. I'd only be doing these to get the miles only.
