Has anyone had any recent problems with the old good Alamo code as I have two reservations coming up, one at MSY and one at MCO?

If you are talking about the T code, just check your reservation online at alamo and it will show you that it is still being applied. Print it out and make sure you take it with you when you go to pickup your car.

I just found that out, too. My next rental isn't until July 8th and I can't apply that coupon to it. I've been getting Insiders double-upgades every time for almost as long as I've been renting with Alamo, so I'm hoping the code will simply be updated sometime in the next couple of weeks.

People are ridiculous they think since they have the code (chances are from someobody else) they have some kind of superior right to have it. I asked someone to PM to me which nobody could be bothered to do and yes I do know how to google and at first couldnt locate it. So, I found it on my own. Here it is so people dont keep asking which apparently really bothers some people for reasons unknown to me. This forum is supposed to be about sharing information and experiences yet some people want to keep secrets so they are the only ones that benefit. Thats kind of crummy if you ask me.
code = TINDR1

And BTW... TINDR1 is not THE code.

well i dont know what code you are using and dont care. the above code gives you everything that the old ti1 code did, gas, cdw, inclusive of taxes and close to 40% off the rate so I guess it works for me and whoever else wants to use it because I am nice and can share. If you read my post you would see I did google it ...what is sad is your piss poor attitude along with others on this board. Its hurray for me and the hell with you...very nice!

The code isn't all that great, IMHO. I ran it through a test booking out of FLL for 6/14-6/18 - Standard Car.
Without the code = $115.34
With the code = $176.64
Sure, upfront fuel is included with the code. But are you going to spend more than the $61 you save in fuel (essentially a tankful) during the four days you have the car? For me, probably not. Plus it isn't worth the risk of carrying LDW that I'm not eligible for that could also void out my credit card's rental car coverage.

I would agree. But in the interest of transparency, I doubt that the majority of the "PM me too" folks on here are looking for one-way rentals. I could be wrong, but doubtful.

Read back the last 5 pages of the thread, most of it just PM requests for 'the code'. I had come across it a few days ago from a friend of mine who frequents another forum. But she seemed as clueless as I find myself being.
I'm in need of an SUV out of LAX for a week in October. And the cheapest I've been able to find is a Budget code that I booked 2 months ago, pushing $400. This code gets me a Tahoe for just over $300.
Kind of a too good to be true situation perhaps? Have people been having a lot of trouble with the code at all? Considering everything that's included, seems like it'd probably be risky. I wouldn't think twice if I was traveling by myself, but I'm not.

mia monthly
I'm going to be in Miami for a month starting next week.. can anyone suggest a code or a method for a best rate with Alamo? Usually I book at LAX anywhere from 4 days to a week and use the old costco code that gives me $30 off and then another small percentage for my insiders membership.. but $30 off a month long doesn't do much and I don't want to have to return the care and re-rent each week either. Suggestions?

I'm booking through National every weekend with the Emerald code and the 1 free day coupon. At DCA, where I rent, Alamo & National pool cars so I could book with either and choose any car. But I can't find any contract ID's that combine with a free day to get a lower rate through Alamo. I must be doing something wrong as Alamo should be cheaper.
If anyone has a code that would help I'd appreciate a p.m.

vroom vroom vroom limited (appears to be from AU travel provider as best as determined by search)
code #299851, for weekly reservation combine with double upgrade coupon AU4234FDA have no idea where it orginated
it does include CDW
