Except that that's may not be the best AA bonus with Avis right now!
There's another one where you get 1500 miles (not just 1000) for 1-day rentals.
(Though I think this one here gives more for week-long rentals.)
More here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/avis-...romotions.html (in the Avis forum)
(There are several different AA/Avis promos going on right now, each with different bonus amounts, end dates, and perhaps other differences too?)

Much of my current AA balance was earned on previous promos like this, and thanks to the OP for posting a 7-day/7,000 version (best I'd seen before was 5 days, MUAA004).
Any1 seen anything that's NOT restricted to airport locations?
Would like to be wrong here, but if appears you can pick any AWD you want but have to go with the coupon code, which means you can't use other coupons for something like a free day, $25 off, etc.

Are you sure you tried correctly? Did you use the same AWD for both? I've never seen a bonus miles coupon affect the price, but the AWD certainly does. (You don't have to use the AWD that's mentioned in each promo. Very often the AWD mentioned in a particular promo is not the best, even when the coupon is.)

I wonder if we can use the Daily Deals cert of $50 to help pay for the rental, that will be 50 off, and you can use a total of 7 certs according to the T&C,
I notice a weeks rental is only $135ish here in ORF, so use 2 certs for 100 off, so my cost will be 2 certs at 60 and 35 for the difference for a cost of $95 for 7,500 miles.

"May not be used in conjunction with any other promotion, or offer."
In every other case I've seen to date, Avis only allows you to either use a bonus earnings coupon (like the AA one being discussed here), or use a discount coupon/certificate, not both on the same rental.If you have questions about how it has worked in the past, I suggest you search the Avis forum (then ask there if you don't find an answer by searching). The Avis forum is visited by people with lots of Avis experience, many of who don't visit MilesBuzz! The purpose of this thread in MilesBuzz! is to alert people to the promo, not to answer every question that might come up about Avis.

So I've got a few ~six day trips coming up and I'm wondering if there is any way to stretch them to qualify for the 7,500 mile bonus..
Does anyone know what the shortest rental period is that would qualify for the 7 day bonus? Does the reservation have to be 7 days or more, or is there a little headroom where say...a 6 day, 13 hour rental would qualify?
What really matters...the duration of the reservation, or the duration between the "time out" and "time in" fields on the receipt?

In my experience and observation, you cross into the fifth 24 hour period, and it rolls to a weekly rental rate, for better or for worse.

Nope... You can only use 1 coupon code per rental. Both the bonus AA miles and the cert require a coupon code, so you must pick one to use.
