I think everyone has learned from the mistakes err "enhancements" at USAirways!

I rent in Hawai'i frequently - and spend about 100 days a year in an Avis car, if not more - but that's because Avis doesn't overbook as much as other rentals (I've sat for *2 hours* waiting for my car @ Alamo), and the Preferred service has always been nice to me (I even returned a car to HNL with 3/4 tank of gas and didn't get dinged).

However, my first reaction to the AvisFirst change was "ah, AvisLAST..." . I'd rather have a few restrictions on my weekend rental than to have it taken away like that.... such as base it on the # of days you rent now, i dunno.
