Okay where do I start? First of all it's Avis not avid. And US is not offering a double miles promo. It's actually a
50% bonus promo. But, yes, you can get over 4700 miles for a 3-day rental. Since you cited 3 cents per mile you are saying the rental costs, in full, would be 4700 x $0.03 = $141. And at 3 cents per mile this is not a very good deal unless you really need a rental car. So I don't recommend renting in bulk just for the miles. Unless of course you can get that price down to ~$72 all in.
