Budget/Delta 3K for 1-day rental until Dec 31, 2009 - MUAZ002
I searched both the DL forum and the Budget forum and could not find any matches for MUAZ002. Sorry if I missed this. Got an email today from Budget. Oddly, the promotional period is March 31, 2009 through December 31, 2009. ???? The email also had a link marked "Register" but it looks like there is no registration for this promotion. I think the link should have read "Rent Not" because you end up here.
https://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/htm...medallion.html The T&C do not say you must use the BCD code but it also does not say that the offer is good with any BCD code. I would guess any BCD code will work. I suspect that the banter in this thread will be about BCD codes and "participating airport locations where Delta flies". Post your successes and I will edit mile marker #1 with a list. Red and blue bolding is mine.

Great catch Evan! Now the usual guessing game of is my location participating begins.

I well may try this even though I'm a NW elite (not officially a DL Medallion yet), but of course if any non-DL Medallion tries it and gets the bonus, please post.

I am a non-DL medallion and am using this promo as the price is significantly less than other promotions for my rental. Not sure why, but a good deal and if I get the 3,000 points, it will just be icing on the cake!

GoCanes, please post as soon as you get your receipt when you return your car and let us know if the 3K shows up. |

I'll be able to report on FLL on Sept 20. However I don't foresee using this promo (over the Avis one) anywhere else.

Thanks Evan!
I wonder if there is a limit to the number of rentals? I didn't see that part in the fine print :D . |

I wonder if there is a limit to the number of rentals? I didn't see that part in the fine print :D . Back in 2008 Budget had a 5K SM bonus for a 2-day rental. The T&C magically changed mid-stream (read: middle of the promotional period) to add a limit of 3 bonuses per customer. Many, including myself, were able to get more than 3 bonuses. For me, all my bookings were made prior to Budget changing the T&C for that promo. I don't know if this was the reason why I was able to get more than 3 bonuses. They could invoke their "right" to limit the number of 3K bonuses for this promo. It won't stop me from using it. Once the 3K does not show up on my receipt I will stop using the code and cancel any upcoming rentals that use the code. I won't pay the FF mile fee that rental car agencies charge for a lousy 50, 100, or even 200 miles unless there is an airline partner promo where I can bump that earning up by a grand or so. Right now CO has the Mileathon and US has the 2009 Grand Slam partner promos. |
Does this work for 1 day rentals?

I can confirm this code works, turned in a 1-day rental at PHL tonight and the receipt shows 3100 miles. Then I turned around and drove off in rental #2... the guy just laughed and told me to keep the same car when he handed me my new paperwork. 3100 more tomorrow when i turn this one in and fly home!
For those that are worried about the budget miles posting, i've been doing these promos for awhile now and I can say if the miles show on your receipt then you are in good shape, so don't leave until they are on there. In my experience i've only had problems when trusting their website/fastbreak service to remember my info, which I stopped doing. It seems to "forget" your skymiles number or coupon number more often than not, and at most airports it only saves a few minutes because Budget is awful, fastbreak or not. So your best bet is to make the reservation as a "regular Joe" and then pick up the car at the counter, making sure to give them your skymiles number and triple-check that the coupon and skymiles number show on the contract. Since i started doing it this way i haven't missed a single bonus. Finally, for those that are wondering whether this is targetted, I can't say for sure because i got the email (as a PM), but I HIGHLY doubt budget's system is sophisticated enough to check with Delta whether or not you are a medallion member. Their system isn't even sophisticated enough to remember the details you put in when you reserved. |
How long should I expect to wait to see the miles on my rental receipt posted? I would also like to note that Budget tried to charge me $2 more than the price quoted online. :rolleyes:

The receipt you get when you return the car in the garage (or lot) should have the FF miles at the bottom if it is issued by a hand-held device from the rep. If you go to the counter to return your car you might not see the miles on the printout (always faded with little-to-no ink :rolleyes:). |
