Good News!
I reserved a car this week Monday night at 1 AM and picked it up at 9 AM the same day. When I returned the car earlier today, the receipt states 5,200 Delta miles.

I just checked my receipts online at avis.com:
10/16 - 5,200 DL miles
10/9 - 5,200 DL miles
10/2 - 5,200 DL miles

When I returned my car tonight (FLL) there was no one in the garage so I ended up returning at the counter (2nd week in a row no one in the garage).
When I got home my email receipt clearly shows 5500 miles. I think our worries about the web page missing and/or stating that the promotion is outdated can be put to rest. For now it looks like the promo is still going strong.

I have contacted the Avis Forum moderator and asked that this thread's title be appended with (No. Still good!). I wouldn't want someone else to pee their pants as I did when I first saw this.

Hmmm...has anyone seen any of these new Delta bonus miles post? I've actually got 12,500 in 3 bonuses outstanding (plus the 50/day to get there) that have not posted going back to late September, 9/29 I think. I am on a new 5-day Avis rental now, and of course hoping to still end up with that big 5500.
I'm not pushing any panic buttons because it's not like just the small 150 and 200 mile per-day awards have posted without the bonuses; instead, I'm guessing that this has more to do with the systems integration. I hear the system is now the old NWA system - maybe that's the issue since I remember hearing that they were sometimes slow. But if someone else's bonus miles were posting I'd be wondering what was up with mine.
I'll feel better when I see at least one of these go through.

CD
So far this year I have had 135,500 miles post to my Delta account for this promotion (MUAA132 & MUAA133). My last posting date was Oct 4 for 5,500. That rental ended on Sep 26.
I was expecting more posts on the 10th. The 10th and 17th have passed without any postings but I'm not really worried. I suspect Avis is in the process of buying another chunk of miles from Delta. Typically this year the posting cycles have been on or about the 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th.

I beat you with 143,750 miles from MUAA132&MUAA133. My last post date for AVIS was September 21st and Oct 2nd for non AVIS activities.
I think we will have to stay on AVIS about getting the Delta miles. I have 4 weeks of rentals that have not posted to Delta. But I recently had some miles post from AVIS, but it was just the 500 miles standard for the week. No bonus. But my receipt said 5500 miles on it.

I can't remember a time when Avis bonus miles posted on a different day than the base miles. I too just got the base of 500 without a posting for the 5K bonus. Also, since Delta has changed the way they note the entry it is not possible to distinguish for which rental this 500 miles applies. I love how the information goes backwards as technology moves forward.
09 Oct 2009 Non Air Activity Avis Car Rental Standard Offer (posted on 09Oct2009)
My oldest rental started on 9/27 ended on 10/2. Today is Oct 25. None of these dates are part of the entry that showed up today. What idiocy to state "posted on 09Oct2009" !!!!!
I'm starting to agree that we are in for a fight. I can hear it now....
DL a/o Avis:We show you got a posting of miles on Oct 9 Evan!:Actually that 500 miles posted on Oct 25. That was for a different rental. DL a/o Avis:Oh, well now I see it. You got the miles on Oct 4. Evan!:No, that was for a rental that ended on Sep 26. I'm looking for a posting AND a bonus posting for a rental that ended on Oct 9.

Ah, this is not so good. I too have been waiting for 4 weeks with bonuses (2 x 5K, 2 x 2500), and I've actually been comforted that the regular miles haven't posted either, making me figure that the whole system was just gummed up. Now I've seen my first "standard miles" from way back in Sept, with no bonus miles, with a posting date of 10/14 (but just appearing last night). Ominous.
I know they never posted the standard and bonus miles separately before, but it seems we're now dealing more with the old NWA engine. Does anyone know if they always posted the standard and base miles together? It seems, from my little experience with NWA, that people thought their system was more transparent but very slow...
I also received the few base miles finally. The bonus miles that show on my Avis receipt did not post as they should have. I'll wait a while and see if they show up.

Because we have at least 3 threads on the recent problems with Avis and Budget posting bonus miles, I created a thread soliciting NW members for their feedback on posting patterns for car rentals.
If you are looking for either Avis or Budget promos (or both) to post you might want to following this thread. I feel like we need a central thread for discussion of the posting issues since Avis and Budget are one company.
