hmmm I saw this a couple days ago but not seeing it anymore
Be careful renting in Orlando FL. Had my plates stolen, swapped out actually, guys at rental company seemed shady.
Damn, I'm renting there next week. Can you elaborate a bit?
Does anyone know for sure if I accept Amex's BCE BCP upgrade offer will the BCP benefits start immediately ?
Can I use the existing BCE card as BCP and put some charges on it and it will count toward the Upgrade bonus ?
Yes. Can confirm. I was already earning 6% cashback when using my BCE right after I accepted the upgrade offer to BCP. Charges put on BCE also counted towards meeting the upgrade bonus.
Can I use my CSR to get rental insurance while renting it and then ask them to charge the Amex when I return the car?
Yes, use the CSR when initiating rental and for duration of rental. Upon return, ask the agent that you would like to split or switch payment to a different card. They will allow.
Isn't there a risk that Avis would find something wrong with the car and fine you after you've already switched from the CSR to a card without primary rental insurance?
Yes, you'd have to be ok w/ that risk. Probably ok for big airport locations and if you know you didn't hit anything. YMMV of course.
Never rent from Budget, they’re franchisees and have every intention to screw over their customers because they don’t own the brand
agreed
Wish it was Enterprise/ National
I got a similar offer for Hertz: Spend $350 & Get $70 Statement Credit. Nothing for Avis/Budget.
Avis/Budget seem like a good Enterprise.
no
The Budget deal is back.
"Get a one-time $50 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $250 in one or more purchases made directly with Budget Car Rental corporate-owned US locations in-person or online at budget.com by 7/24/2024."
The offer showed up momentarily. When I went back a few hours later after deciding which card to add it to, it was no longer available.
This was quite a short availability period.
