Anybody had any recent problems using this? I notice that Mary has deleted it from her website after recommending it for a long time.

If Mary deleted it, that tells me all I need to know!
I never found that code to give good deals for my needs.

ITA with both comments.
If we really need to know, we can email her and ask.

Thanks for the heads up! I found that the July prices w/ the priceless code are dropping. I'll just use that one.

I have had zero reports of anyone having problems using that code in Orlando. I've used it myself about 6 times.

However, a few days ago I found out that it is definitely a travel agent code that is only supposed to be used by travel agents with proper ID, so I decided to remove it from my site.

You'll have to use your own best judgement on whether to keep your reservation or make a new one with a different code. The Priceless Vacations and Amex codes seem to be better most of the time anyway...

Well for me, the CW code gives me a rate of 285 for a full size ER and the Priceless gives me a rate of $314 with both using a $20 off EB coupon for travel July 3 thru July 11. The rate spread for EA is even greater between the two (243 vs 288).

I am going to keep my ER CW code ressie and see if it is honored. The ressie doesn't say any id needs to be produced at time of rental. Just in case, I have made a backup ressie at Avis for $246 for a compact if the National ressie falls through. I will keep checking and if the Priceless code gets better, I will switch to it.

I am in the same boat mglimer - i will keep checking to see i fthe priceless code gets better for me, otherwise, i will have a backup elsewhere.

After reading this yesterday I was a little nervous about using it, I booked my ressie about a month ago for July 7-12 using the carlson code I had a rate of 154.00 that was cheaper than any of them even the priceless one that one was 224.00. So I went on mousesavers and got a list of codes and I got the same rate of 154.00 with the american express code so I reserved that one and cancelled the carlson one. All the other codes even the priceless one gave me a rate of 207.00 to 239.00. So now I feel a littel better as I have a american express card in case I need it

I just used it for 2 different ressies in May. One from the airport and drop off at the Dolphin nad the other one just reverse. Neither time was I asked about the code and both times the price stated the same after drop-off.

I too booked using the Carlson code for our trip, but decided maybe I should just change to another code, so I used the Walmart one and it is only $9 more. Better to pay alittle more than to have my DH screaming at me at the National counter when they say we have to pay the rack rate.

I used the code for an intermediate at the end of July and now checking with other codes it is about $100.00 difference. If I could get close to the same price with a different code I would have a back up but I think I'm going to just try it with the ressie I have since there is such a huge price difference. If anyone hears more on this code or a good price for the last week of July I'd appreciate any info. I am traveling with 30 people but everyone is doing their own car reservation. If I hear of a good deal I was going to pass it on, but I don't want to use the Carlson code anymore because I don't feel comfortable giving it out.

Well I am going to try to use the CW code when I go in two weeks. I have a full size ER for $285 with it. No other code comes close with National. However, I now have a backup ressie with Alamo for the same size car for the same price using a free day coupon. I guess if the booth at ER voids my National ressie I will go back and stand in line at the Alamo counter for that ressie. I will report my results when I return in three weeks.

I just switched my CW code for July to the American Express. Luckily, I have an AE card. The rate is exactly the same for me as CW and still the cheapest of all rental companies so far. I'm talking about $200 cheaper than other companies! That's a huge difference. I usually do better in the rental car game, but I'm having difficultly ths year.

Me too!!! This year's been tough...especially being the first year with no Disney Club discounts. I could always count on it being great.

So far I'm going to keep my CW code as it's the only one keeping my reservations under $200. I've tried them ALL except American Express because I don't have one.

I'm not going to worry about it.

Could someone email me the code? I'd like to try it and see what kind of rate it gives me even though I think I got a pretty good one with Priceless. (yankees00700@yahoo.com)

Thanks!
