Through August 31, you can earn 3000 American miles on a 1-day rental or 5000 miles on a 3-day rental with Avis . Use coupon code MUAA035 and provide your American Airlines frequent flyer number with the reservation.
Based on my experience with past offers of this sort, you do not need to use the discount codes that go along with this offer, which may or may not provide a decent rental rate, in order to earn the miles.
Rentals must be from participating airport locations in the U.S. or Canada, and begin by August 31 in order to be eligible. The offer details page does not specify hotel discounts paris which airport locations are not participating.
This is a great promotion hotel discounts paris but, as I always say, almost all of the car rental agencies offer a Buy 2 weekend days, get 1 free day promotion. For inexpensive rentals, go for the miles. But, for expensive rentals go for the free day.
If you do not cancel your reservation within 6 hours of the scheduled pick-up time or if you fail to rent the car, a refund of the full prepaid amount less a NO SHOW fee of 100.00 USD, will be charged.
This could actually be a viable way of purchasing points for 0.9 CPM or less. If you focus on the one-day rental and have access to a less traveled airport, it could be worth renting the car just for the miles. I checked the Toledo airport for Avis weekend rentals, and found rates of $18.71 per day. Add on taxes and fees and you re looking at $26.82 for a one-day prepaid rental. That breaks out to 0.89 CPM! I imagine there are plenty of similar airports with low weekend rates, although it would be helpful if they published the list of participating hotel discounts paris airports
@Erik I was looking into doing the exact same thing yesterday. Since this is only at airport locations it kills it for me. I have to drive and hour to my airport. Would be sweet if it wasn t just airports hotel discounts paris and i could just drive in town and try out a new car every day for ~$20 and rack up 21000 miles in a week for ~$140
@ Apu my local airport is DTW and has weekend rates of $43 + taxes and fees, which are considerably higher than a smaller airport such as TOL. However I m only a 30 minute drive from TOL, so that example could actually work for me. The deal becomes less exciting when you factor in the cost of gas and time, which would be considerable for 3,000 miles a pop. However if I lived in Toledo (or near a comparable hotel discounts paris airport), I d strongly consider buying some cheap AA miles.
I have been able to get the rate at my local airport down to $23 for a one hour rental it is the 30-40 minute drive that is preventing me from doing this but if I could do multiple rentals at a time, it would be worth it.
Thanks for the post and the follow-ups. Any suggestions for long term rentals (4 weeks or 28 days at the time) with Avis or Budget for similar airline miles or hotel points bonuses? I currently get 125 IHG points per day when I rent from Budget or Avis through Costco Travel with associated Coupon codes and AWD codes. hotel discounts paris But I know there are better options out there.
I called Avis to question this and was told that I will be getting 5000 miles. I don t hold alot of faith in the CSR I was speaking to, she was not very informed, and kept telling me that the note was just summarizing the overall promotion, even though the promo details have NO mention of 3500 miles anywhere. She was getting all her numbers mixed up also and kept dropping hotel discounts paris zeros. for instance she told me that I would get 500 miles since my rental was over 3 days. I questioned that and she corrected and said 5000 miles, then when i pushed again about why the note said Up to 3500 miles which seems to indicated that I would NOT get 5000 miles, she kept making reference hotel discounts paris to 350 miles instead of 3500 miles in the note. I finally gave up and said ok I will call back if there is a problem with the miles posting.
3,000 AAdvantage bonus miles offer valid on a qualifying rental of minimum one day, maximum two consecutive days at participating Avis airport locations in the US and Canada. Mention coupon MUAA035 to get this offer.
Thanks was not certain if, as a tranport hub, it might fall into the same category as an airport. I won t rent from there assuming that I ll get the bonus miles indeed, when I have the airport radial button on, I cannot find Union Station.
