Did your US number show up on your receipt? Were you charged the FF surcharge on your receipt? If so, then I would expect your miles to post this coming Thursday.

If you are in the middle of a rental, you may not see it on the pre-agreement, but it will show on your final receipt when you return the car if you did it right. So wait till then.

no such thing. you probably forgot to select it properly. But, good news, I have had sucess on numerous rentals, to call Hertz main reservation line after a few days of returning the rental, and they added the number no problem! And I didnt end up paying the 75c....!

my 4 previous rentals at alamo and thrity all posted properly, this is my mileage earning rental at hertz so i am just slightly concerned if i am doing it right in light of the earlier comment and the missing 75c charge.
just returned the car. 75c is on the final receipt and 50 miles is awarded. thanks.

Any cheap UK rental deals out there?
The best I have found was a 2-day rental from Thrifty at about £35 but it would not accept the extra 1,500 miles coupon code. My US DM no. is in the reservation, though.

I just rented a car in Sydney and returned it 10mins later for $30. My FF says it's listed on file .
I'm going back the next 3 days to do the same. I did use some discount coupons to get the $30 rate is part of the T&C that I can't use any codes or I can't return 10mins later.
I was read got to page 4 saw there was over 50pages long .

Budget's budget website
Where do you enter your USDM number on Budget's website? Do you have to create a RapidRez account to get miles? I'd rather not store credit card info on Budget's site if not necessary for a rental's miles -- unless I gotta. Enlighten me.

I have made two rentals with Thrifty during this Grand Slam promotion. One of the reservations wasn't listed in my "completed rentals" section of Blue Chip. I had to send an e-mail asking about it. Received an e-mail stating that the missing rental will be credited to my Blue Chip account and both rentals will be credited to my US Airways account.
The problem is no miles have shown up and I thought they were faster in the past. I'll just continue waiting 6 weeks and call again. My first return was 9/30 (from an airport). Thrifty says they "applied the miles" on 10/5 which means they sent them to whatever Thrifty department processes miles.

I apologize in advance but I am going to continue ranting about National.
Rental was 9/15 to 9/18 using US Airways contract ID for triple miles as posted on their website. e-receipt and paper receipt all say US DM # used and sent to US Airways.
3 weeks passed and no miles posted. Called and they said they can't escalate until the 4th week. Called after a month passed and first agent said need to wait 35 days, I was a few days short. I then asked for supervisor, who supposedly put in a request to have the miles followed-up on. All this time, I have sent National CS emails too in regarding this, but they take about 2 weeks to reply to them, and every time they reply, they give the "Our records show you called in and a phone agent assisted you in reaching a resolution" because I have gotten tired of waiting for their response and called in again.
10/30 is the 10-day mark since I called. People reported National takes about 10 days to post. If by then it still hasn't posted, I'm not sure what else to do. UGH!

Makes me wonder what the last CSR did for me if she supposedly submitted request when my preference was set to earn Rental Credits....
Time to wait another 10 days...
