No way around it, unfortunately, if you want to use 6 at once.
Like I said though you don't have to go to the place you rented it from; it can be any National location. 1-2-F days are good for one ways.

I don't think there's a National location closer to Keokuk, IA than the Moline, IL airport. That's the price I pay for going to an out-of-the-way location I guess.

FYI, I've phone re-upped 4 times for a total of 12 rental days (in Maui, no less) without any issue whatsoever. My brother, whom I gifted free days to, mirrored by exact experience for 3 re-ups of his own at the OGG location as well.

Wow - this is not entirely correct. For years, locations have allowed you to "re-up" over the phone for the next set of 3 days. Yes, back-to-back 3 day reservations need to be made - but if you explain your situation to the desk/mgr/agents inside - many will allow you to just make the phone call on the date of designated return, and re-up over the phone. I, and many others, have been doing this for years. It can depend on: the location's willingness/ability/knowledge to do this, your status/knowledge of the program when working with the location, the vehicle you initially take (if they upgrade you from your original car class reserved, you may be subject to bringing that back to take the same car class for the next re-upping res).

I have tried the phone re-up and been shot down. I agree that others have gotten this to work, but this is a big YMMV. If I were you, 2 hours from the location, I would call and talk to the MANAGER of that location prior to your rental to verify if that location is willing to do it.

Not sure why my information earned a "wow" from you - the terms and conditions on this point are very clear. It's the same reason you can't add more than 7 standard free days to a reservation, even if you have more than that banked and you want to have the reservation be longer. Of course you might find a helpful agent somewhere, but that is hardly to be expected. In my experience I've never found a location or agent willing to do this, and I always ask the manager.

12F vouchers need to be used by Jun 16th, does that mean booked or rental is complete?

Most likely rental complete. You'll know by when you make the res, if they apply when you get to the summary page. If it doesn't let you get there, they're not letting you apply the coupons to that rental with those dates.

I'm not sure since the regular banked days can be applied beyond expiration, just need to book by, but if you cancel, the free day is lost. Try it for yourself and if the reservation confirms, you're all set. Just thought if something else which contradicts this, since 12F days are in the form of coupons, then they may not work after expiration.

Time is running out to use these!
If you can't - think about sharing!
I can make use of a few - as can some other regulars here.
PM is best.

Thanks for the reminder Ron! I just changed a week-long reservation I had for this coming Friday to use up my last 12F coupons. Only have a 5 day rental now, but at least I'm not wasting free days.

I booked two different reservations using 3 coupons each. On the day I was supposed to return the first one I called the rental location and they closed the first rental and started the second rental without me having to go in.

Geesh. I've got four of these sitting in the bank. I probably could have used them a couple of months back but I also wanted to get the Elite Qualification Credits toward next year's renewal.

I can make use of a couple, drzoidberg, Tuneman1984 and some other regulars possibly as well.
