keep your eye on National's rates

I can't seem to get the lower rate you have. It keeps coming up at $241.95 base rate.

Help,
Mary

I plugged dates in to my EA screen and using ONLY the endless vacations contract ID 6600330 I came up with same base rate BUT I then added WWEB Product Rate Code and this is what I got:

Don't know why concession fee is still there.

What I learned: Product Rate code WWEB does give a discount over one week. Make sure you put it in.

Thanks, Bob G,

When I use the entertainment coupon, it gives me an even better rate. Plus I may be adding a day and it still comes out lower than the $241 base rate.

Thanks again,
Mary

Well....I ended up calling National's internet support site and explaining the problem with the concession fee and the very nice man that I spoke with was very baffled as well as to why the concession fee was added into the minivan rental only. He was nice enough to fix my rate.

Old Rate: $265.88 (using Priceless code and WWEB)

New Rate: $250.59 (using Priceless code and WWEB)

WooHoo!!!!!! Now I just hope that the fix he made goes through without a glitch. I am having him e-mail me something for proof that I should be getting the lower rate to be on the safe side.

***** UPDATE ***** I called back just to make sure that everything was ok with my ressie ..... of course it wasn't and National was true to form and has the WORST customer service ever! Needless to say I ended up cancelling my ressie. Thank GOD I kept my ressie with Budget.
