  1. Payless does not participate in the name-your-own-price program. If you decide to rent with them, read their web site carefully as their policies are different than the major rental car companies (mileage may be restricted, driving area restricted, insurance card may need to be shown).

    Therefore your bid did not include Payless - only the companies that participate in name-your-own-price.

  2. You shouldn't rely on the list on the Hertz web site. There are only specific cars in the Premium class. They include the Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria, and Buick Lucerne. I don't have a full list but I know those are definitely included.

    So expect to get one of those cars, or if they're not available you'll be offered a free upgrade to a better car (Lincoln Town Car, Kia Amanti, Toyota Avalon).

  3. The best rate on Travelocity, etc. is $41. $25 is in the top range of what I'd like to pay. It may seem like a big difference but on weekends I can get $14-15 depending on the number of days for the rental.

    I've tried Dec. 6th, and 11th-14th (all one-day rentals).

    Have you considered renting from the airport instead of downtown? For a 1 day rental for pickup 12/14, Alamo with VacationOutlet.com code 698805 is $15.99/day for an economy + taxes/fees = $21.77

    With this rate you can pick up at the airport and drop off at the downtown location.

  4. Bid $37 (+$5 bonus cash through a link Priceline sent me) - included the Airport, North, and Midtown zones.

    Previously bid $30 (+$5), $32 (+$5), and $35 (+$5) with no luck.

    Accepted at the Courtyard by Marriott Midtown. Total paid with taxes/fees is $93. Regular rate on Marriott.com is $139 - total with taxes/fees is $314. So saved about $221.

  5. Yes, it most likely is one time use (but i can't say for certain without seeing the link)

    And a reminder that an affiliate can still get credit if you click the affiliate's PRICELINE link to PRICELINE, then close that browser, then click the bonus money link you have.

    Good Luck.

    Hello,

    Yes I confirmed the link was one time use only. I used your instructions to place the bid and will start a new topic with the win results.

    The interesting thing is that Priceline sent me 2 other bonus cash links (with the subject "New Bonus Cash Award") and when I try to use them it says I already did. Technically I didn't I used the "old" bonus cash award they sent me before. I am taking up the matter with Priceline customer service and will update on what occurs.

  6. OK.....used the code and got my car just as you said using the code. That is a great discount to other rates I had seen. What is the dicount code from. Am I required to show a membership card or discount card when using this code?

    Thanx szymon

    This is a code from the American Airlines frequent flyer program. I have used it before and was not required to show anything, but if you want to be safe you can sign up for free at aa.com.

  7. Dollar compact $31.26/day = $134.06 total with taxes (44.68/day)

    Using the Free Weekend Day coupon at vacationoutlet.com you can get a compact from National for $82.36 total with taxes (27.45/day).

    So you'd have to bid $12/day on Priceline to save $8 on your rental - not sure if it's worth those savings.
