Earn Bonus AAdvantage Miles Renting a Car with Avis & Budget.

American Airlines has rolled out two great promos for renting cars. When traveling, renting cars can be a very convenient way to get around and explore. But they can be be expensive, and often earn you little miles bonuses.

This is where these two promos come in to play. You will receive a discount and an AAdvantage miles bonus! Double dipping.

I have an upcoming trip to Europe and I’m looking to rent a car, so I got all excited when I saw these two offers. However, August 31 is the last day for this promotion. Boo. I don’t leave until early September. So I got depressed. But wait, then I received another email from AA and Budget and there’s a new promo for Budget until September 30th. I’m happy again.

 

BUDGET PROMO

Special car rental offer is available from August 6, 2012 until September 30, 2012.

  • American Airlines AAdvantage® members can now earn 20x AAdvantage miles — that’s 1,000 miles per rental day!
  • Simply rent a Budget vehicle for 2 or more consecutive days at participating airport locations in the U.S. & Canada. Use coupon number MUAZ013.
  • Plus, save up to 30% off your rental when you use BCD #U072421.
  • Always remember to provide your AAdvantage number at time of reservation or at the rental counter to receive your miles and discount.

You will receive up to a 30% discount when using the Budget Coupon Discount #U07242. Balling! And you will get 1,000 AAdvantage Miles a day up to 10 days! I’m looking for a 5 day car rental, so at the very least, that’s going to net me 5,000 bonus AAdvantage miles.

Here’s the link for the AAdvantage Budget Promo. 

 

AVIS PROMO

Unfortunately this promo ends Aug. 31. I’m bummed, since I usually look to Avis first for all of my car rental needs. This is a great promo if you can take advantage of it.

  • Earn 3,000 AAdvantage® bonus miles on rentals of 1-2 days.
  • Earn 5,000 AAdvantage® bonus miles on rentals of 3 days or more.
  • Use coupon number MUAA035 and provide your AAdvantage number to earn your AAdvantage® miles.
  • Save up to 35% on rentals at Avis airport locations worldwide when you use your American Airlines Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) number K817165

You could save an incredible 35% on Avis rentals from airports by using the AWD code k817165! Bang. And if that isn’t enough, you get 3,000 AAdvantage miles on 1-2 day rentals and a killer 5,000 AAdvantage bonus on rentals of 3 days or more. I like these numbers a lot.

Here’s where you can go save on Avis rentals and rack up an AAdvantage bonus.  

 

And there’s more.

Don’t forget, you can go through the Ultimate Rewards mall to Avis and receive a 3x UR bonus per $1 (2x per $1 with Budget). AND, if you use your Sapphire Preferred or Ink Bold, you would get an additional 2x, because car rentals are categorized under travel. I’m getting pumped up now.

I like these two deals very much and they can both add incredible value when renting a car. I will definitely be trying to take advantage of the Budget deal on my upcoming trips next month.

Discounts and miles bonuses. Gets me all excited.

    Great post! Anything you hear that would prevent people from renting an Avis car a day for the next 20 days? 60k for around $400? That’s a steal!

      Thanks! You’re right this offer is killer! I think the only thing stopping you would be the effort of going up to Avis everyday. But YYMV.

        Thank God I live 3 miles from LAX! :)
