sdsearch, I can confirm that I've earned the 6,000 into a non-elite account, recently.
And, FWIW, to anyone watching this thread, I suggest that these two promos are good ways to build a bank of points to then use for points + cash stays to then earn the "50,000" (net 45,000) points in the big promo, where the point requirement is 5,000. Just a @:-) for those who haven't @:-) of it.

I have a 2 day rental next week that I'd like to try this on however I'm not CC elite by any means

Club Carlson has no other offers than these (which are valid in Europe, just not in Jul & Aug), and it's Avis/Budget (not Club Carlson) that blacks out Europe for Jul & Aug. As mentioned before, I've never been able to use any offer from any Avis partner in Europe in Jul or Aug of any previous year.
So if you want a car rental with an offer, you have to settle for some other car rental company and some other airline or hotel partner that has some offer that works in Europe in Jul/Aug. You might start here:
http://www.frequentflyerbonuses.com/carbonus.html
but you'll have to read each offer to see whether it exclused the time you want to rent in Europe or not.

For me, it took over eight weeks after my earliest rentals in the promotion. But I still have the hypothesis that we jammed the system during its earliest days. Reports here regarding the most recent rentals are that they went through within days, or at the interval of a normal sweep.
*******************
EDIT: I am sorry. I had one of those mind things... I was talking about the 3000/5000 Avis => AA promotion here. I still have not received the CC points for this one in over seven weeks. Apologies for misleading.

Excellent. Doubts expressed above and elsewhere notwithstanding (no points under this promo yet), IMO it's worth jumping for again. Thanks, guys.

Using the "wrong" AWD does matter sometimes. I've been using AWD A515100 right along, for this and that promo. Looong wait for the generous Avis|AA promo's AA miles to post, but post they did, recently.
Well, well, well... Nothing in ~12 weeks for one rental, nothing in more than two weeks in a second, in my Carlson account. What appears to be a couple of sweeps having gone by, as people are reporting here, I threw in the towel and called. Carlson wouldn't accept because I used the wrong AWD, even though the coupon code was correct and my "GP" number was on the reservation. Saddest, I could have used the earlier one for AA miles instead.

Was this in the terms somewhere that I missed? All I see is
"Offer may not be used with any other coupon, promotion or offer except your AWD discount." which would imply that any AWD discount code would work (as opposed to "except this AWD discount.").

Are you saying that using AWD A515100 will result in the Club Carlson bonus points not posting? As far as I know that and AWD A515129 are the only valid HP rate codes.
