Rental Car earning Rapid Reward - Automatically Registered?
If I choose one of the rental car options that the Southwest.com site offers to me after the purchase of a ticket on WN, does the WN site automatically transmit and associate my Rapid Rewards number to the rental car agreement?
And if so, do I earn the RR credit for the rental car expenditures automatically?
Or, do I need to manually intervene in the rental car agreement process at some point in order to provide them my RR number so that I can earn the RR points for the rental car activity?
Thank you!

You should always re-verify with the rental agent when you pick up the car and generate the paperwork.
Of course, you will still probably have to follow up when you don't get the credits, as I have to do EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I just received 4x credit from Budget, for our LV rental back at the beginning of May. Tracking down these credits was a nightmare. Numerous long-distance calls that were never returned, complaints to customer service reps, faxing all the information after giving it ad nauseum to a whole host of people, and finally, finally the credits appeared in my RR account this week.
