I cannot get the same rates as you mentioned. Where do you enter the ID?? Do I need the last name and stuff??

Found it. Enter it into the Corp ID section. HTH. It is quoting me $55 for the rental period for Midsize from Thursday to Sunday.

Here's a direct link to a promotion website with a slightly different code. Apparently it's been going on for a while. For some reason I couldn't get it to work for me by putting the code in from the original poster for the dates I wanted, but I was able to get it by using this link. The code is definitely different than the one listed by OP and the website autofills it when using the link.

i tried Pickup: Thursday, Return: saturday and the discount was not applied
then i tried Pickup Thursday, Return Sunday 12:30am and the discount was applied.

so if it set that up as my itinieary and return the car on Saturday at 5pm will it still work, or will they charge me some different rate... anyone know?

thanks for posting the new link, spuck. it was working for me through the other link earlier.

as for returning the car early, i was once charged a different rate for returning early, but a call to customer service straightend things out. so it might involve an additional step on your part. the one instance where it is genuinely difficult to get a rental company to remove an early return penalty is when you demand a reduction in a weekly rate for returning days early. with only a few hours involved, you have a good argument.

This worked like a charm. I'm flying into BWI on Thursday, June 18th with a pick up time of 10am dropping off Monday, June 23rd at 10am and it supplied me the $10 per day rate. My total for the 4 days is $40 tax/fee's etc.... $28 :( Still can't beat this deal. I tried returning on Tuesday, June 24th and the rate 'jacked-up' to something like $147++ I'm returning a day early to some some coin.

not sure why this worked, as it says on different sites that this code expires 5/31/09 and I booked for June rental but it worked! got $10.00/day for compact car in Maui, pretty fricken sweet!

Thanks!!! Just grabbed a premium for this weekend in Vegas for around $50. I would have spent more on cab fare running my wife to her seminar.
