Hmmm. Maybe I'll try that in Rochester and hope for the best, except I think I'm returning it before they open 
Maybe I'll print out the PDF and staple it to the contract when I leave it in the box with the keys (hate doing that...). I'm sure my HLE will try to take care of me though when I rent instead of taking a taxi from the airport...

Oh, I'm sorry if I confused you -- I'm talking about my HLE here in Salt Lake City 
I'm only going to Rochester for a weekend (round-trip airport rental... although if they give me a junk car I'll cancel it and just take taxis), and when I get back to SLC I was going to do a one-way from the airport to the Downtown Salt Lake HLE instead of taking a taxi. I have a very good relationship with my HLE; I don't know how the HLEs are in Rochester though.

This just gets stranger and stranger...
Looking at cars at SJC this weekend. With the AAA CDP, no RQ and no coupons, pickups on Friday are around $50/day, whilst pickups on Saturday are $12.48/day.
Add in the $10 off coupon, and Friday becomes "No cars available", whilst Saturday stays at $12.48 before the $10 off (so ~$2.50 afterwards).
AAA + XPC1 for Saturday pickup gives $12.14. Add in the coupon and it jumps back up to $12.48, but the coupon works. I haven't tried applying the coupon post booking - for 34 cents it's just not worth the effort...

Thank you for your clarification. Just FYI, if you are going more than 5 miles for one-way, then certainly go for a rental even if the PC doesn't apply. Taxis in Rochester are just very expensive. 4.1 miles from my home to the airport easily net us $22-$25 depending on how kind the traffic lights are. Sometimes, they also joke about me not giving tips because of whatever culture I was in. This is flat out ridiculous.
I'd like to have a car that weekend, but if it's significantly more expensive (i.e., if they can't apply the PC) or they don't have any decent cars available (I'm only on a B reservation but I won't take a Versa/Sentra or Corolla!), I won't hesitate to cancel the reservation altogether.On the other hand, perhaps I could get one of my friends with security to give me a lift... I've done it before

A taxi from the airport to the UR River Campus isn't that expensive (plus, UR has a deal with one company so it's only $10 each way) I'd like to have a car that weekend, but if it's significantly more expensive (i.e., if they can't apply the PC) or they don't have any decent cars available (I'm only on a B reservation but I won't take a Versa/Sentra or Corolla!), I won't hesitate to cancel the reservation altogether.

I went there for two years but then transferred out. I'm now at Westminster College in SLC. I'm just going to Rochester to visit my friends

Hmm. I booked my ROC reservation originally back when there were no issues with the modify trick. Just got my email statement of charges and everything checks out It says $20 adjustment so maybe they did it manually. I am super pleased though I got a Q4 for only $25 for two days

I need to book a SEA-Tac Airport to Seattle Downtown HLE One Way. The XCT1 weekender code wont work. I keep getting the normal rates.
Any ideas on why this won't work?
I also tried doing a round trip, and it still didn't work.
My dates are Nov 8 (8pm) to Nov 9 (4pm)
