Well, this is the first time i've rented a car thru SW..... we are picking up our rental car at Holiday Inn Universal on July 1 (after our week stay). Keeping it for another week while at DFiL's house. Returning it to MCO. i had originally booked our car last year (earlier the better/cheaper) thru rentalcarmomma.com for a total of $193 inc. taxes and such. (This isn't a bad price for us considering our situation.) So today, i get an email from SW and they have rental car specials (one was Budget, which is @ the hotel we're renting from). so, i go to SW's site to rent it. It won't accept the code for the hotel and when i enter "orlando", it only gives me airports 
(not renting from airport!) So, i copied the code from SW's site, went back to rentalcarmomma, and plugged in the code.....it worked! 
so, i was able to save about $25 (total after taxes now is $167.).... so, i'm pretty happy...... the special does not say anything about 'airport' pickup and it does say not valid one way, but i'm not renting one way...just not returning to point of rental. I will still keep the original res, just in case...don't want to lose that price if they won't accept the new price.
Oh, and last year when we rented (w/ Budget), the car was filthy! When we returned it, we said we didn't make this mess, we left it for you see the condition WE got it in! The lady at MCO said "That doesn't surprise me!"
...and gave us a $20 coupon to use for the future....that doesn't expire 
(maybe i'll use that coupon this trip and knock more money off that $167 rate 
)
Anyhow....never used SW code before...just thought i'd share!
