The British Midland $35 off weekend coupon code for Hertz is apparently working when renting for just a single weekend day, picking up your one day rental on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
The Hertz rental also awards 1700 points in bmi’s program, which stretches miles further than pretty much any other with their cash and points award chart.
This deal could be the first time where I’ve really thought that renting cars just for the miles could make sense, if you find a reasonably priced one weekend day rental the car should be nearly free.
Of course this deal won’t last long, that’s for sure! The discount code you’ll need for the Hertz site is 121365. And if you aren’t already a bmi member, 1700 miles on a one day rental is certainly the best you’ll do apart from special one-time promos (such as 3000 Virgin Atlantic miles per Hertz rental which I consider only marginally better at most).

At the same time BMI sells miles at very good rates. You could get them even without a processing fee through June 15th. 9K miles would cost you 102 GBP and currently 15 GBP processing fee. If I could find cars for under $20, this will be a great deal though; at $40/day not so much.
