Mine is there, but
only when press Edit.
It looks like this

Type of Card: Mastercard
Card Number: ************nnnn
Expiration Date: Month, 20nn
It looks like this
after I press Edit:

Note: International travelers using a MasterCard or Visa charge card have the opportunity to be billed in their local currency:
[ ] I choose to have Avis bill all my future rental charges in the currency of my Avis profile credit card.
I understand that if I am renting at a location at which the currency differs from my credit card issuing currency, Avis will convert my rental charges to my card issuing currency. Immediately after I return my rental car, Avis will use the prevailing conversion rate. Any converted amount will be billed to my credit card. The conversion will be conducted by the Avis location. The international currency selection fee is three percent. If you disagree please unselect checkbox.

In my case, that was checked! (I got billed in local currency the last time I rented internationally, which was in September 2012, so I presume they added this online and made it opt-out
after that!)
I just unchecked it, of course!
Thanks a lot for this information,
makos and
piyush!
