I did ask National and they indicated that all I need is my driver's license and a credit card. On some other forum I had read that if you can't show affiliation, they will not honor their price. I was wondering if someone has actual exprience with such a situation.

Moreover I know for a fact that if you use a contract id which includes LDW and any other insurance, and if you get in an accident, you will NOT be covered by the policy unless you actually belong to that organization AND are on offical business. For anyone who decides to use the codes only for insurance, it is not worth it.

I used the under 25 code (5000491) and got a pretty nice deal.

If they give me crap about not having the physical coupon when I go pick up the car, what should I tell them? Should I say I got something in the mail and threw it out after using the code, or that a friend gave me the code?

The name will show up on the reservation printout. I think the one you mentioned is Ohio State.

Looks liek the double class upgrade coupons only allow you to go to a full size car. Choosing a compact upgrades me to a full size (double) and choosing an intermediate only goes to a full instad of a premium.

Printable 2 car upgrade coupon

In my experience it is up to the manager of the local yard. I was allowed to upgrade to a premium at San Jose on numerous occasions. I usually got in late at night and they had caddys on the lot, so I asked.

I have called the local yard in advance and asked about upgrading to a premium. Worked in Seattle, RDU, Charlotte, etc.

So ask locally if you can and then you are sure.

this is the American Express coupon 10009493. this coupon is limited to 2 car upgrade from intermediate cars.

Brings up a blank page for me on both Firefox and IE.

After reading the posts on here, I decided that since I used the affiliation code and the coupon codes that I should probably call National and check. The first time I was told that I needed to have the coupon and the second time I was told that I only needed my driver's license and credit card. I thought that maybe I should check directly with the airport location and the woman there just gave me "bring it to be safe". It seems to be that this is only answered by the mood of the National employee. It seems that they don't have any rule set but then again, that is subject to change with mood.
