Have the 9,000 hit for anyone recently? Not here. But it's only been three weeks (and two, and one). The rates were great, so this would just be icing on the cake. But the icing sure would taste good.

Jealous am I. Meaning: "Naught" here.
And for what it's worth, a friend filed a complaint against Avis with the BBB in New Jersey, and it was forwarded by that BBB to the one in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I had my 2-day Avis rental post a couple days after the rental (750 + 5,250). Had a Budget rental the same week (3-day) and so far only the base 750 has posted. This was 3 weeks ago.

There's avis.com/cc9000 for the 9000 version, but I can't find an equivalent for the 6000 version!

Where is the info on the 2-day version of the promo? As you can see upthread, we had assumed there wasn't a 2-day verison any more! Your two posts are the first I've heard of a current 2-day version!

The info is the last place you would look: right on the main page of the Club Carlson -> Earn section! They make it very easy! Although it only says 9k for 3 day rental, when you click on either Budget or Avis links, the page explains and gives codes/links for the 2 day rental.
Avis offers 6k and Budget offers 5.5k for a 2 day rental.

Bingo on the 3-day 9,000 point ones I've done so far. ^
It took three+ and four+ weeks, but they're all there. Monthly sweep?
And the friend I mentioned @19 above got hers, as well. But from the notation on her account, it all does look like special handling -- e.g., in response to her BBB complaint.

The old Budget 5,000 for 2+ days offer says it's good through December: https://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/htm...promotion.html

Now in the middle of my fourth and fifth experiments with different AWD numbers in conjunction with the Avis 2- and 3-day coupons. With the exception of the common "delays" in posting (which may be more about me) so far so good. All have come through. A three day rental = a free night at a couple of places where I want to stay? Doesn't get a whole lot better than this, IMO. Bravo, Carlson, once again. As I've said - OK, proclaimed - on a couple of other boards: Carlson wants me.* What a sleeper program. ^
One piece of advice I'd like to reiterate, not just in this instance, if you're an Avis Preferred or First, be sure that your profile info aligns with this promo (or whatever promo you desire) or things might get complicated. I had done so for this round, but just had an especially helpful Avis counter CSR ask me if I had.
* Not for my credit card. But I digress.

IME, if my profile doesn't have the promo's numbers in it, my First/Preferred account will override the promo and populate my reservation with my previous AWD etc. information. So, if I don't confirm what I want in the reservation at pickup, I'll later wonder why my current promo bennies haven't come through. Then I'll look over in another airline or hotel account, and find 50 miles from the more recent rental, for example, because the promo numbers I'd put in before still rule because I'd never changed them after the prior rental, and that promo had ended. I've even had problems when I tried to confirm at return, and the agent said he didn't know how to fix it at that point. It can be a big hit when one has done all the right things, one thought, to get, say, 9,000 hotel points.
