Northwest Airlines partners with Budget Rent A Car

Northwest Airlines has announced a new partnership with Budget Rent A Car in which it will offer WorldPerks members additional opportunities to earn frequent flier miles on car rentals. Budget is now one of several companies that have become partners with Northwest Airlines’ WorldPerks program, joined by 1-800-FLOWERS, LifeLock, Thanks Again and Travelling Connect.

For purchases through September 30, 2008, WorldPerks members will earn 1,500 additional frequent flier miles when renting a car for three consecutive days or longer, at Budget Rent A Car. In addition, WorldPerks members will receive discounts for savings of up to 20 percent off the rental cost when booking at selected U.S. and Canadian Budget airport rental locations.

WorldPerks members will receive 50 WorldPerks miles daily on eligible car rentals of one to four days’ duration, or 500 WorldPerks miles on eligible rentals of five or more days. In order to qualify, members will need to provide their WorldPerks number and their coupon code either when making the reservation or checking in, to have the miles credited to their account.

“Budget Rent A Car is the latest rental company to offer WorldPerks members an opportunity to earn Bonus Miles even faster,” noted the managing director of marketing for WorldPerks, Bob Soukup. “We’re happy to have them as a WorldPerks partner.”
