5% Discount Code on eBay
Several people are offering a CO 5% "discount code" for sale on eBay. Does anyone know if this is legit or where it is coming from. A couple of years ago Hertz had a $20 off code for their program members. Is this a similar deal?? If you don't want to post, please send a PM.

It is likely the code *^&)&)&)( that you type in if you are a Continental Pres. Plus MC holder that is active for a period of 1 year after the code is activated.
You have to be a card holder and a OnePass member to activate it though ...so I'm gonna go out a limb and say it is a scam.
And it is almost certainly illegal.

There are occasionally % off codes sent out for surveys and the like. The code may be legitimate, but I'd steer clear. Paying for a discount code seems a little odd to me. I note that someone is selling 5 CO headsets for $9+shipping. CO sells them for $1 each. I can't believe that people buy this stuff.

The code might be a meetingworks discount code which has no destination restriction. I have come across them doing a google search before
