here is a quick question to the pros:

On the BA promo http://www.britishairways.com/travel...t=BBBB5HJLBDSN,

do you think I have to add some coupon or BCD? Its not really saying anything about it there, so I assume I can have Costco's and some nice coupon added and would still get the miles?

I was thinking that was BA promo, so they would be looking for a transaction from Avis, but is that really the case?

The Hot List at the top of the thread says:

WN/Budget 5x credit (2.5 credit/rental), save up to 30% BCD U072700 – Exp: December 31, 2010 – Min: 5 days !!![4 days=2.0 credits; 3 days=1.5; 2 days=1.0; 1 day=0.5]
Doesn't mention the coupon code at all, thus my confusion. If I had not clicked thru, I wouldn't have known about the coupon code.

Don't usually rent from Budget so I wouldn't have known anything was wrong.

Click on the link and read the promo details.

You aren't really looking for an apology from me because you had to click through?!?

Keep in mind, I don't get paid to maintain post #1 of this thread. If you have to click through to read the promotion details so be it.

Wow, not at all what I was trying to say, so let me apologize for the confusion. I thought I was pointing out an omission or a swap - BCD listed instead of coupon code. I did click thru and made a correct reservation; appreciate that you put the time into advertising a promo I would not have known about otherwise.

We're cool Let me apologize for my confusion with your confusion.

You're quite right about the "swap". Most of the entries for Budget & Avis quote a coupon code because the majority of the time any BCD or AWD will be accepted for a promo unless the code has a corp exclusion for earning miles. The coupon code is usually the only thing needed for a miles bonus. This one is different. One must use the WN BCD along with the coupon code to qualify for the RR credits.

I have modified the entries (the Avis ones as well) to reflect that both are needed. Thanks for catching that. Cheers and happy holidays. :-:

Edit: For the record... BCD=Budget; AWD=Avis. This is an Avis promotion only as far as I know.

I clicked on the "book now" button which opened a new window for booking with Avis. At the top it mentioned the promotion with a "more here" link. The blue stuff below should answer your question about using a COSTO AWD. I've also underlined some important possible "gotchas".
Welcome to the Avis & British Airways Accumulator!
Earn enough BA Miles to claim a return flight in Europe


You already earn 3 BA Miles per £1 spent with Avis, minimum 500 BA Miles per rental. Now, until 31st March 2011, you'll also earn an increasing amount of bonus BA Miles on every rental you take.

Simply rent 6 times between 1st October 2010 and 31st March 2011 and you could earn over 9,000 BA Miles - enough for a return European flight, or a great boost towards a cabin upgrade!

And if you don't achieve all 6 rentals - there are bonus BA Miles for every rental you take, so you'll still boost your miles balance and get closer to your next redemption flight.

Number of Rentals____Minimum Standard BA Miles____Bonus BA Miles
______1___________________500___________________10 0
______2___________________500___________________75 0
______3___________________500___________________75 0
______4___________________500___________________10 00
______5___________________500___________________15 00
______6___________________500___________________20 00
SUB TOTAL ___________3000__________________6000

Grand Total - Over 9,000 BA Miles

Don't forget, use your British Airways co-brand credit card to pay for your Avis rental and you'll earn a further 250 BA Miles from Avis plus the usual BA Miles awarded on your card transaction. There has never been an easier time to boost your miles balance!

Any chance you have the Hertz URL and not the one from Virgin-Atlantic.com? I can't see this offer unless I log in to my Virgin account. I don't have one. I don't want to log in. Maybe if I saw the promo I'd join Virgin's FF program

Do you really have to book by Jan 31, 2011 for rentals through Dec 31, 2011?????? They might as well say "the offer expires after any rental you happen to know you are going to need on Jan 31, 2011". If you don't have a Hertz URL could you copy/past the T&C here?

Thanks Marty. You know sometimes I wonder if you and I are the only ones left in the bar.

Thanks starflyer

Hey Mrp, where did you get an expiration date of Dec 31, 2011? Is it a typo or are you looking at a different promotion than starflyer?

so wait:
according to this:
http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb...ntal/hertz.jsp
Does that mean that this would be 3000 miles per rental? If that is the case that would be SWEET... : )
