Here we go again.
I attempted to reserve one of my "free" weekends again at the Savannah airport. Last time I was told it was a "spring golf weekend" and the free weekend certificate was not valid for that weekend.
This time I tried to reserve a weekend to visit my son in Savannah in mid October. Again the certificate was refused. When I called Avis, I was told that Oct. 1-31 was "golf month" at this location and they were not accepting the certificates.

I wrote a letter today to the president of Avis, asking him if he knew how valueless these "Avis incentive" programs to their loyal (100+ rental days/year) customers if they can't use them when they want.
Before I was forced to switch to Avis by our corporate travel policy, I used the "other" major rental car company and recieved free rental day coupons all the time, along with points that let me reserve a week or more at no cost as a loyal customer. I never had a problem with blackout days or locations that refused to accept their corporations programs. Wonder if I'll get a response?
