[Avodah] car rental corporate discount code question

Mon Aug 15 09:12:54 PDT 2016

A chabad rabbi gave a friend Chabad's corporate car rental discount code
(and told him to feel free to use it)
He said that chabad doesn't mind, bc the more that use it, the more clout
Chabad has when negotiating discounts with the car rental agency

The friend asked me if it is mutar (ie not genavas daas or genavas mammon)

I answered that its mutar if either of the following are true..

1.      The car rental agency is not makpid if pple that are not members use
other discount codes (probably bc the car rental agency wins as they w
rather have him rent their cars even with the discount than have him rent
from their competitors)

Or

2.      The Chabad's corporate discount w apply according to their
Enterprise agreement.
Ie its unlikely you have to have a pinched hat to qualify. Do you have pay
chabad dues? Is it enough that you're a rabbi?

I don't know if either of the 2 above are true (I suspect so, but am
unsure).

Does anyone know if either of the 2 above are true?
