$35 off weekly coupon and early return
So I currently have a Sunday to Sunday reservation for next week using the $35 off coupon (ND8578ADT). If I return the car early on Saturday does the coupon get kicked out due to the Sat overnight requirement?

Rules say yes - failing to meet the terms of your reserved rate and any coupons can result in repricing with significant cost. My limited experience says no.

Hmm I'm looking at using a $20 off WEEKEND rental that has a 3-day minimum requirement, but I only need cars for 2 days (technically 1.5 days). If I reserve Friday to Monday, but pick-up Friday evening and return Sunday morning, will they take away the coupon?

Back in 2007 I had a $$$ off weekend coupon on a 6-day rental. It was 4 days at the weekend rate then two extra days at a higher rate. Was due to pick up Thurs night but I got voluntarily bumped and flew in first thing Fri morning instead. When I retrieved my rental, it was now 3 weekend days and 3 extra days.
Worked out cheaper to just return the first car and take out a new contract on the Monday, however an impending snowstorm and me driving a non-ABS equipped Sentra meant I decided to bring it back Saturday night. When I first told the counter of my intentions earlier in the day, they said the coupon would come off. However when I returned the car it didn't and I was billed about $20 tax in for 2 days. They never adjusted it.
