I don't rent enough in the US to qualify for Avis First, but each year they keep giving it to me. I just got an email that says...

Dear Stimpy,

We truly appreciate your business and have extended your AVIS FIRST benefits through 2011—even though you did not meet the rental requirements in 2010.

Please continue to enjoy all that AVIS FIRST has to offer. It's a perfect complement to your membership in Avis President's Club.

But I have to ask, how does Avis First compliment Presidents Club? As far as I can tell, the only benefit would be weekend rental coupons which I cannot use in Europe (the only place I would want to use them).
