This one is 500 mi per day. Not as good as 3,000. https://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/htm.../delta10x.html

If you get an amenable Budget person to, ahem, split your reservation into TWO (such as one 4 day and one 2 day) then you can qualify.

Would this require me to return the car after 4 days and re-rent it? I have usually found 2x airport fees and 2x other car rental fees to make two rentals not worth the extra expense for most FF bonuses.

Nope. They just print out two things and you sign 'em. This worked really well for the 3,000 per rental period.

Better Late Than Never
Well it only took four months but I finally received my base miles plus my 3000 bonus miles from a LAS rental back in November. We all know the LAS location is notorious for not posting miles and this trip was no exception. After waiting the prerequisite 90 days (as per the fine print), I called Budget and it only took about two weeks for them to contact the local franchise and post to my account. These miles promotions are great but what a pain at some of these locations.

just picked up a car and i do see the coupon number on the rental agreement but not my DL SM#. i think i entered it at booking but am not 100% sure. Budget RA usually not show FF#? actually, it doesn't show on the reservation either but i think i entered it.

That coupon expired on Dec 31. Please let us know if you see the miles on the receipt. You'd be better off using MUAZ015 which is 5K for 2 days.

Like Evan says, definitely make sure you're not using the old coupon code, and come on over and join the new thread. :-:
But I wanted to chime in on the DSM number not appearing on the RA: at least for me and where I rent, the DSM number always appears on the RA if it is in there - the one time it didn't I asked the agent to check if she had put it in correctly and sure enough she hadn't. When she re-entered it and re-printed, it was there. So you probably didn't enter it, since you don't remember for sure.
When you get back, instead of closing your rental outside you'll probably want to go back to the counter and have them fix the coupon and DSM numbers first.
