[DEAL GONE] Extremely Insanely Hot National Deal Rental
Just booked a midsize car, $40 for 3 days, heh, using a legit code.
Appears to work ONLY on midsize, but doesn't really matter, since we're all Executives, we can still pick from the ES aisle!
Go here:
http://usa.visa.com/personal/discoun...unts/index.jsp
Contract ID 5026801
Coupon Code NU2889JDP
Expires 02/28/09
Must pay with VISA.
Came out to $41 and change. $37 if you use the Continental Airlines FF Contract ID.

Are you referring to the National 3rd weekend day free promotional coupon? There are lots of variations of this offer including National.com, NWA, and CO.
What airport did you get $40 all-in at? What dates?

Appears to ONLY work on mid-sizes, works best on weekend rentals.
It's even better at non-airport locations; for instance, if you reserve at Washington-Union Station, it's $31 all in for the weekend.

And no, it's not the National 3rd weekend day coupon, it's even better! It's the VISA Fall 2008 Promo gone horribly wrong, but very well for us!

I just booked a $0.00 car in OKC on 8 November.
Seems to be a $21ish rate and a coupon for 2x that number, resulting in a $0 rental and half the coupon being forfeited. I wonder if they'll honor it. No CC taken during the booking, so I likely don't have much leverage if they don't. Also got a $0.47 car in SNA.
It looks like they are pricing a 1 day rental with the freebie, even though it doesn't qualify based on the minimum required:

I wonder if I can pay by AMEX. Do they take VISA debit cards?

I booked one for 60 bucks for this weekend with the promotion. I needed it, it saved me about 80$. I'll post on how it goes, I am planning on paying w/ VISA since it's a VISA Promotion. Good luck y'all!
