Looks like this offer has disappeared!
I went looking for this promo to print out to coupon and get directions today - but it has disappeared, along with most car rental mile promos, from the Delta site. In fact, the fabuolous 3K/5K bonus offer from Budget's corporate partner Avis has disappeared as well, replaced by a 1.5K offer.
I was getting ready to make some Budget rentals for my shorted rentals but now I don't know what to do - only that I am not happy since this offer was supposedly good through 12/31/09!
Anyone have any insights?

PS: I was actually looking for the terms so I could see if Budget even gives miles for non-airport locations (Avis does not). Just in case this offer is still valid, does anyone know their fflyer policy on city location rentals? I went to the Budget website but couldn't find mention of their fflyer policies, only a tab for frequent renter.

Not like it's unique to Budget though.

Booked Today
I booked today for next week. Entered the coupon and when I went to select the car, there was a statement under the $amount that the coupon was accepted. Of course, now I wish I'd done a screen print of that!!

I called Avis after the web site disappeared. They confirmed that the coupon code was good through Dec 31, 2009. I wasn't aware that the Budget copy had been pulled. I don't have a Budget rental scheduled until Nov. Hopefully FTers will continue to post successes here. We'll see.
Also, I turned in my Avis 3-day rental today and got the full bonus, at least on my receipt.
Now I just have to hope it goes through but I bet it will. (I know we are tallking Budget but since they have the same ownership and the same disappearing-coupon issue I figured many would want to know it worked.)

Why 500 miles when you can get 3000?
Here: https://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/htm.../delta10x.html
This makes me a bit nervous about the 3K promo. 500/day for 1-day is not nearly as good as 3050 for a 1-day rental.

The original link for the promo of this thread disappeared for a short time (it's back now). The Avis 5K/2.5K promo link disappeared and hasn't returned. It too was supposed to be good until Dec 31.
So I couldn't help but wonder if Budget might be offering a 500 mile/day promo and "pulling" the 3K for 1-day promo. I have no evidence of this.
Also, my nerves are a little sensitive right now because Avis (the other half of Avis/Budget Group) has been very consistent all year with the bonus miles posting... until October. I have one rental (5.5K) that I expected to post on the 10th. It didn't. On the 17th I was expecting that one and another 5.5K bonus to post. Neither has. On Oct 24 I should now get three 5.5K bonuses.
Here is what I am hoping are the reasons for Avis' tardiness: 1) The DL/NW program merger on Oct 1. 2) or Avis is out of SkyMiles and needs to buy another big chunk. Perhaps both are contributing. I don't want to have to fight with Avis & Budget like I did back in the beginning of 2008. I had hoped the majority of problems with getting bonus miles had been worked out. Now I am feeling deja vu.

Sorry I didn't elaborate. Budget has pulled some shennigans in the past. In 2008 (IIRC) they had a great 3K bonus promo. Mid-promo they added "up to three promos per account" (or something to that affect). Thus they limited the promo to uses and not time.

FWIW, I got my Moms Dads and Grads miles on Oct 1. Currently I am not expecting any Budget 3K bonuses. My last two Budget bonuses posted on Oct 6 while my last two Avis bonuses posted on Oct 4.
