The info on the website suggest otherwise:

How do I participate in the Avis First program?
Once you have qualified for Avis First, you will receive an invitation to enroll in the Avis First program. You will receive your Avis First identification card and invitation package including directions to activate your membership. Upon activation, you will receive an email confirmation (within two weeks), including your first reward, a FREE weekend rental and the ability to earn additional free weekend rentals for every three qualifying rentals of a minimum of two consecutive paid rental days.

.....

What communications can I expect to receive?
Once you qualify for membership in the Avis First program, you will receive your new membership card and activation kit via mail. Upon activation of your account, you will receive a confirmation email (within two weeks) including a coupon with your first FREE weekend rental. Customers who activate their membership will also receive other emails pertaining to the Avis First program benefits (i.e. additional earned free weekend rentals) and special offers.

.....

Will my membership in this program expire?
Membership in the Avis First program is based on your rental activity within a calendar year. In order to remain in the Avis First program, you must complete twelve or more paid rentals (or a paid cumulative rental day total of 35 or more days in a calendar year) on one Wizard number. Once you complete your rental requirements, your membership will be automatically renewed for one additional calendar year. If your rentals do not meet the requirements for the Avis First program, your membership will be returned to the Avis Preferred Service program. The following expiration rules apply:
In your inaugural membership year of Avis First, your expiration date will be set to December 31st of the following year.
As an example, if you first become a member of Avis First on July 2007 your expiration date will be set to December 2008.
Unrelated Q - in looking at the T&D, I see this:

Can I earn free weekend coupons on rentals that receive mileage/credits/points for a frequent traveler program?
No, Rental and Rental day credit will not be earned on rentals that receive mileage/credits/points for a frequent traveler program (i.e. airline frequent flyer, hotel points program, etc.).
Is this enforced ? Has anybody tried applying for FF credit after the w/e cert has been issued ? I have been applying my FF credits retrocatively in groups of 5-6 by clicking the links on the rental history page. Do the links go away after they ahve been counted as included in the 4 reantals for the w/e certs ?
