Best I found earlier today was $42 with VSTPTE and 182092, didn't book at the time because I couldn't find my United Mileage Plus card - now they're no longer working and the best I can get is $91 with XCT1 only.

Here's a slightly different challenge: Boy Scout travel for next year.
Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): PITsburgh
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): same
Pickup Date and Time: July 12, 2014 at noon

We're trying to lock-down costs so families can decide and budget for the trip. I know we may be able to reduce price with coupons when we get closer to the date, but I want to book it in October.
Thanks in advance!

Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): ATL
Pickup Date and Time: 12/23 first thing in AM. Could pick up a day or two earlier if including weekend stay gets me a better overall rate.

Looking to rent a convertible for our week-long stay in Maui. I was hoping to ensure a nicer model/trim and from my cursory research it would be relatively easy to do that with Hertz given that they have multiple convertible classifications available.
Pickup Location: OGG
Dropoff Location: OGG
Pickup Date and Time: 11/27/13, 5:00PM
Return Date and Time: 12/04/13, 3:00PM
Vehicle Size Preference: Convertible, preferable nicer model (which would mean RTAR as far as I can tell - the prestige line is too costly)
Memberships: AMEX Plat, USAA, Costco, Hertz Gold
Best Price: $594 including all taxes and fees. Using AMEX Plat CDP, couldn't find a PC that would work for my dates.
Thanks!

Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/etc): Hertz Presidents Circle, United, Hilton, Delta, American, Chase Mileageplus Explorer, Amex Delta regular, a couple alumni associations but those usually aren't great
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise:
Hertz with a CDP I don't want to use at $29.15/day and without using it and instead trying various codes from the thread on discount codes is $49. Can you get me closer to $29? I'd very much like to stick with Hertz, given the status and less hassle.
Thanks good people of FlyerTalk
