Great find, thank you! ^

Saved me $40 off my best other 1 free w/e day deal at $102 a/i for a 4-day Thurs-Mon at MIA in Dec.

Scratch that - came to $89 a/i with EWEB. Where is that Rate Code from?

EWEB is the standard rate code to give you additionally lower weekend rates. Doesn't work with all coupon codes however.

Thanks to the OP, I just modified a ressie I have for a week in MCO later this month. It brought the AI total down from $176 to $155. ^

Thank you!

Thanks to OP!

Brought a MSP 3 day weekend rental down from $155 to $85 (and from a SUV which was the cheapest to a midsize) and SW FLorida rental from $76 to $46.

Now, do I want a 3 day rental in SFO for the same price as a 1 day?

Is it possible to get banned from National for excessive coupon usage? There's a rumor floating around that they may not honor the price, charge you full price, then ban you?

Thanks very, very, much OP. My $111 (Mid-size, TPA, Wed - Sun), which I was really happy with, dropped to $85. Thanks very much!!!

Edit: Went back and entered the CO code as the OP suggested and got it down to $80!

So I'm reading the T&C in Post #9 and noticed this..."Vehicle must not be picked up before weekend rates are available on Thursday; must not be returned before the immediately following Sunday".

Dumb question, but the codes worked perfectly well for my Wed. - Sun. reservation. Should I be worried? I'm still keeping my original reservation for $111 as a backup.

I'd say, keep your backup just in case.

Well, it is a rate/coupon code that is published in tandem. Not as if we're stacking coupons.

The deal was posted to slickdeals, so if you need to make a reservation, I suggest you hurry up and make one!
