On occasion they don't work online but they work on the phone
As well due note: that the driver must be 25 + since the cdp officially has to match the coupon ,
I doubt anyone has usaa coupons .
But has worked on occasion with different cdps then on the voucher

I've heard NYC area know it's only for a certain company and do not accept them.

Has anyone ever added USAA to a hotwire reservation?

1. I'm only talking about Avis. 2. They don't accept the vouchers so they'll charge you. FTR this is word of mouth.
