I only got 1 e-mail about the initial expiration date change. I have not gotten anything after that. Some members seemed to have gotten updates.

Supposedly they are re-working the new program after it did not test well but I think maybe they are just having IT problems. Of course, there are no details.

I did hear that the new program lets you redeem the points for merchandise like GPS devices but it will take A LOT OF points to get rental cars for free. When was the last time any enhancement from these companies worked out for the customers?

Supposedly business as usual and the terms of Avis First remains the same until mid year. Someone said they said "after 2/11". Well, 2/14 is after 2/11 but so is 12/31 My activities are stuck on December.

The bottom line is you just can't trust what this company does - whether it is having a car there for you or at least communicating to its better customers.
