This absolutely blows. This is my first year as an Avis First, and it will be my last.
Delta and Avis run huge promos for miles; I've probably amassed 50,000 miles this year alone. I think I am going to attack this through Delta as well as complaining to Avis, as it seems they want to attack their corporate partners, not just the renters, by insisting that no frequent flyer miles be accrued.
