So assuming there will be a Fullsize SUV available is a bad choice.
Thanks for clarification.

Is there a reason why one would not use a contract code that included LDW?

jackal

Why one would not use it?

Well, do you legitimately qualify for use of the code? If you do, then no, no reason not to--in fact, you should!

If you don't legitimately qualify for use of the code, though, then tread carefully. If something happens to the car, the rental company might do some investigation and pursue action against you for unauthorized use of a code. You might also have issues getting your credit card and/or auto insurance company to cover it, too.

Or you could get off scott-free. You never know. Just tread carefully.

Is there any place on the website that shows your tier progress?

Also, although 2 consecutive 1-way rentals will net 2 rental credits, what about a local + 1-way? Meaning, I rent a car from ABC, return it to ABC a day later then immediately pick up another car, and drop it off at DEF the next day?

Tier progress is calculated easily by YTD rentals (12/25) or YTD rental days (40/85). It's best to add this up yourself as their system doesn't instantly post it. If you don't care about the lag look at the profile tab of the iOS app. Monthly eStatements show it as well.

What happened to the Discount Thread? Was it taken down?

dwbf11

Yes.

Why, pray tell?

Here's the explanation by our community director.

What is unexplained, and should not have happened, IMHO, is arbitrarily killing the whole, very lengthy thread which included a valuable history of other information totally unrelated to the "list" in question. Fine, kill the disputed "list," the first posting, but leave the thread intact. Again, IMHO, this could have been easily justified as the same kind of exchange as happens everywhere else on these forums -- merely members sharing their experiences and interactions with the various travel services we all deal with. Why was the whole thread quashed/censored??? Do members here have no say in the exchange of ideas/experiences?

dwbf11

It's hardly arbitrary, and doing what you suggest (leaving the thread intact without a code list) would not have solved the problem. And to frame the issue as one of we don't value members' contributions is not an accurate assessment either, because that is absolutely not true. We have taken no action to censor or otherwise modify users' experiences about National or the car rental process.

There are other ways to find the information which was contained in that thread which are still publicly accessible and discoverable. I'm going to leave it at that.

LostInParadise

Well, ok, you can say those words, but that's precisely what's happened here. Some of my own postings were in that thread, and the simple fact is, they aren't available anymore. If that's not "modifying" the thread, I don't know what is. Or perhaps you're implying that they weren't "modified," true enough -- just ELIMINATED.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wasn't born yesterday and as has already been posted here and on countless other sites where web pages suddenly, mysteriously disappear like this, Google cache is your friend. I'm well aware of that. And that addresses the underlying point how?

Again, fact is, the whole thread was quietly and ARBITRARILY zapped without notice, without discussion here. This was not some sort of minor clean-up to a little-used posting, it was an ACTIVELY updated part of this forum used by hundreds if not thousands of members here. The contributions of countless members were disregarded and trashed. It shouldn't have happened and says a lot about how this site might treat other user input going forward.

I'm going to leave it at that.

I can understand your concern. It's frustrating when a resource where you have made a contribution vanishes. However, I want to make clear that this was not a decision made by the owner of the site, Internet Brands, nor was it made by the forum moderator. It was a decision made by the thread originator. He made us aware of personal reasons as to why he considered this the best option for himself.

Thanks Carol. I could not have said it better myself.

So is that to say if someone was to repost the list or post codes as part of discussion in another thread that if would not be deleted?
