Not sure how and why, but got $141.23 total for a full-size last night from national, did the status matching, so I should be good to go. National usually has good cars in the emerald lot?

Thanks again for your help!

Hey guys, would appreciate any help with my rental coming up in may.

Dates: 7 May 8am - 8 May 10pm
Departure and Destination: LAS
Car: (Compact/Intermediate)
Age: 24 years old, must include LDW because I'm non-US citizen so my credit card doesn't cover me for alot.
First time renter - Have signed up for USAA

Hertz - tried all sorts of credit card cdp that I can use with pc144314 and rates are around (USD126.54/139.97)
         - usaa with $5/day coupon comes up to be (USD128.33/USD142.60)

Avis - couldn't find any coupon code to waive underage, so i'm stuck using usaa as the AWD.
USAA code (USD120.95/USD133.79)

Thanks! my eyes are going blurry from all the coupon scavenging over the net.
