I always do my Avis reservations through the Avis site since only then is my Wizard number correctly and automatically (by logging in) plugged in.

I don't understand what extra benefits you'd gain by going through the CC portal rather than doing it at the Avis site like I did.

(Note: I usually use avis.com as my Avis site because I'm USA-based. If you're based elsewhere, your Avis site might be different.)
I'm based in Sweden and maybe that's the reason.

Do you have to use that AWD in order to get the point? Last time I looked for my rental the AWD code was a lot more expensive (I think it's about $100 difference).

I had trouble getting my SAS 3k bonus points with Avis - I think the reason was that I didn't use their AWD.

I tried to use Avis.com to get cash back, but somehow they claim that I used a invalid coupon (it was an free upgrade coupon supplied by ebates and fortunately ebates still paid me the $ back).
