My first thought was 'that thing is still in business'?

I haven't bought the physical book in years, but there are most certainly National coupons available on the Entertainment website for subscribers. The ones currently available are valid through 6/30/2018.

thanks...

But if it were in the book the coupons would be good thru june 30 2019.

so what we don't know is if ther will be any coupons beyond june 30 2018 on the entertainment website.

No, that's not true. The 2018 book just came out in July (as it does every year) and is good for the next year. The post-6/30/2018 coupons would not be available until July 2018, in the 2019 book. Seems unlikely that they'd stop putting in the coupons that have been in there for decades, but I suppose we can see what happens 11 months from now

WRONG!!!!!! I own the 2017 books.. The National coupons show an expiration date of June 2018 on those coupons... I believe the 2018 books have just shipped or shipping out soon. I havn't bought a new one yet.. But in theory the coupons if they exist would expire either at the end of 2018 or if the match before, then the end of June 2019...

Thanks for the emphasis and the all-caps "wrong!" I hope that made you feel better about correcting me.

I did check and looks like OP is correct, National is no longer a partner in the 2018 physical book. Only rental discounts are with Avis, Budget, and Payless. So enjoy the 2017 coupons until June 2018, because when they're gone, they're gone!

You are pretty possessive of a simple book a paper...

What are the coupons for? Meaning what type of discount?

Has anyone purchased a 2018 Entertainment Book and can verify that the National coupons are still being offered?

I just realized the Entertainment books are the only source of National free-weekend-day coupons.

My 2018 Long Island (New York) Entertainment Book does not have National, Alamo, Enterprise, or Hertz coupons of any sort. The only car rental coupons in the 2018 book are for Avis and Budget.

Edited to add: The 2018 book also contains a single coupon good for 5% off at Payless.

wow, I didn't realize Long Island had own book lol. I bought NY book a couple of years back, briefly offered at $4!!

Are Avis/Budget of any use, or negated by other discounts (including PAY NOW)?

Thanks for the confirmation, guv. No online coupons available either?

I have certainly combined Avis/Budget coupons with "Pay Now" rates, so that should not be an issue. But many of the Entertainment Book Avis/Hertz offers are duplicated -- with different coupon numbers -- at the Offers/Deals tab on the Avis/Budget websites. However, some of those on-line offers might not be available year-round; the Entertainment Book coupons are valid through the end of 2018 (subject to the occasional coupon blackout periods).

Sorry; haven't checked the on-line site yet. But if there are no Hertz, National, etc., coupons in the book, I would be surprised if there were any on line.
