I actually saved tons of money over the years and will miss the coupons. This is like Southwest going from Rapid Rewards 1.0 (16 oneways get you 2 oneways anywhere) to RR 2.0 ($ based). Some will like it and some won't. At the end, Avis wins.

What I really dislike is how Avis is rolling this out. The program terms were changed without any notification, advance or not, in July. Suddenly, the coupons are expiring 1/15/2015 instead of the 6 months advertised when we earned the status. There is still no tangible information 3 months later.

I know Avis fully has the right to do so. However, it is just another way to show the customers they don't care, they are sleezy (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/avis-...practices.html) and they take the customers for granted.
