Well they list both fields, but when I entered both the BCD & Coupon code, it still gave me the same rate with just the BCD..however said Coupon applied...so not sure. I guess I will find out when I pick up the car.
not when you click costco and the 30% link it doesn't show a field for the coupon. I just double checked to see if I made an error. Anyway the coupon specifically says can't be combined with other coupons or discounts. I wouldn't chance it but go for it if you want. It clearly says you can't do 30% and any other discounts. If you do this and are told you can't combine the coupon you have no recourse for price change as it clearly states on discount it can't be combined. Here is entire discount listed from the Costco site (copied today) and I tried to hit the link and copy that but it was a mess and you couldn't see that it just listed BCD and NO area for coupon code.
Sorry for how big the bold is BUT I am just trying to show others if they use this code the coupon can't be use (clearly spelled out on the terms of using that code). Don't want people to get the wrong information and end up paying extra. Yes, there is a way around it by manually going to the Budget site, entering both this code and the coupon number BUT you might get caught and not have coupon deducted. For me it was a $20 savings and not worth it. I will keep checking and hope the rates go down even more. I will not mess with 'iffy' rental codes or not doing things legit.
For those who are interested this is copied directly from the Costco site. Go to Costco, travel, rental car and budget. It is the first offer. ALSO FYI I WAS ASKED FOR COSTCO CARD IN PHOENIX ONCE BY
ALAMO.
