FC Car rental partners?

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this question...
I need to book a car rental and I remember in the past going through the VS website and getting a discount/earning miles with Avis, and maybe with Enterprise as well. With the website revamp the links to Car Rental Partners bring up a missing page message. Does anyone have the codes written down?
Thanks in advance!

They used to be written on the back of your Flying Club card.
Not sure if that is still the case.

Yup, the codes are on the back of the FC cards, but they are:
Avis: N645801
Hertz: CDP 708870
Well they are on my Ag card, not sure if they are different for Au.

The Hertz code is the same, the Avis code is slightly different:
W645601
I just checked the same car, same dates/times using the two different codes (and two different browsers on the same computer) and the rate using the Ag code was £30 cheaper! [:(]

A hidden benefit for Ag's??[:D] How strange, wonder why that is, to be fair mine is a brand new Ag card so maybe they have got new/better codes that are being updated on the VS site/new cards?

Hmmm....good theory but I just checked my old Ag card, which was from last April and it has the same code as yours. Maybe they figure Au = big spender? [:?]

Don't even bother with the codes, 99% of the time you just end up with a higher rate. As long as you don't get a corporate rate you will still get 1000 miles per rental.

Scrooge you are right - I just checked the rate again with NO code and found the same rate as when I used the Ag code above.

Yep, I've found the codes to be close to useless.
