That is unfortunate especially at how high the one hour rate is.

Great news on the extension to 2012!^
FYI...
Miles just posted for a rental @ LIT last week.
Doing a 5 day rental next week with pick up and return @ different airports (BHM & PNS). The coupon was accepted during booking, but can anyone confirm this type of rental is bonus miles eligible?

Has anyone tried to use this lately? It's still on their promotion site, though obviously March 31 has passed.

. Perhaps US had not updated the expiration date to 2012 on their own site. But it has been updated on the Avis site. I've never seen this promo on the US site. I have to assume it's because I'm not Preferred. Yet I have never had any problem getting the 3K bonus. http://www.avis.com/car-rental/conte...rpreferred2011

I rented a car for three days in COS in April. When I got to the airport, the agent and I realized that the rental reservation had been made for only one day (even though I chose 3). We also noticed that my DM number nor the Coupon Code had been added to the reservation. So he very nicely went in and added both to the reservation at that time. As all of this took about 45 minutes, I believe he 'upgraded' my car for me.
At any rate, the only thing that has posted to my account are the base miles. I have called several times, and managed to get someone on the phone again today who basically told me "Tough.... no miles.' The reason? Because the code was not on the 'original' reservation, they would not honor it. I made this reservation on-line through the US Airways site which was then directed to the Avis site.
I think this is shoddy partnership on the part of Avis/US. I guess at this point, I will write a letter to both Avis and US and see if anything develops.

No mileage credit?
I used the code MUAA044 for my rental 3-4 weeks back. I could not enter my US air FF number online, so i presented the number at the rental counter. But i did not see the US air FF number or the miles awarded in the rental receipt. Generally i see the miles awards at the bottom of the printed receipt and e receipt. Do i need to call avis to request the bonus miles or can i use the request miles option on the website (i am afraid that i will get only 500 miles if i do this). Please advise. Any preferred number to call.

You're pretty much SOL. Your USAirways number needs to be on your rental prior to reserving. Its quite easy to do so and/or you could have called AVIS if their website refused.
Doing it after the fact, I highly doubt you'll get a positive response. There are no tricks.
If you are a preferred member of AVIS, you'll know the preferred numbers to call. Its generally frowned upon here to give out preferred numbers to non-preferred folks. Its printed on the back of your PC or CC card.
Good luck.

How to get your missing miles from Avis! (This goes for Budget as well)
I hope it helps.
