To my surprise, this gave us a better rate than USAA, AAA + various PC, Hertz 50+ and everything else I tried.
Thanks!

This may be a well trodden subject, but my forum search failed me (of course, having said that, I'll probably find the appropriate post right after sending this). Anyway, I'm looking to book a ~3 week rental from PHX, and after trial and error, I'm able to get my Marriott rewards number to give me a 10% discount. BUT, it only gives me a "pay at location" price. I can't seem to get to the pre-paid price at all.
If I try a code like the Delta one, I get pre-paid and pay at location. I'm not a Delta member, but assuming it's free, I may well join to say myself some 70 odd euro. But I thought I'd check if the problem was between keyboard and chair, or if this is well known.
(I'm using hertz.ie if that makes any difference and I'm logged into my Gold a/c, with my M# stored in my profile).

Try entering "BEST" as an RQ. Always works for me when I use the Marriott CDP.

Thanks Bacchus, but I get the same results with that RQ (assuming I should leave the CDP and PC in place too). Interestingly, the same CDP and PC on hertz.com reduces the price from ~$1500 to ~$1000, so the code is correct, I suspect just something funky on hertz.ie

Huh, that's really weird. I tried it again before I posted and I just did again and it's again working for me.
So yeah, I don't know why it's not working for you either...

psychokilla, it looks like your automatically chosen residence is what makes the difference. If you go to Hert.com from outside of the USA it defaults to the residency based on your IP address

Is there a PC that reduces the price for Sirius XM satellite radio?

AAA members get a 50% discount off the daily rate. The AAA CDP (1805452) can usually be paired with an excellent AAA PC code/coupon to further reduce your cost, which basically makes AAA membership a no-brainer if you want SiriusXM for a rental of anything more than a few days.

I'm not aware of a PC code for a one weekday rental. So I thought maybe there is one for Sirius XM.

Has anyone ever used the United MileagePlus CDP and PC for Hertz? When I book with PC 305023, the reservation page shows the regular price and says "discount will be applied at the counter." Does anyone know how nice the discount is?

a) You have booked with CDP 62455 and PC 305023
b) You choose an intermediate car or higher
c) You have booked with your Hertz Gold# and you have chosen to accrue UA frequent flyer points rather than Hertz Gold Rewards.
In short, the PC for the bonus miles means you will not be able to apply a PC for any sort of additional money off by using a coupon. On a shorter rental it may be only $5 but on a longer rental it could be $30 or more, not to mention that you are forfeiting Hertz Gold Rewards points, and also paying a Frequent Flyer Surcharge of $0.75 per day, so it all depends on how much you value the UA points as to whether it even makes sense to go this route.

Well, United's CDP does provide some discounts, so I might just use the CDP and pair it with another PC code. Thanks AutoSlash!

But if you are collecting United miles (and not Hertz Gold Rewards points), then you don't profit from the Spring Bonus anyway.

Not true. Using a PC does not stop you from getting bonus points (Spring Bonus offer or otherwise).
