Yes, earning miles or points with any travel partner (airline/rail/hotel).

For regular (non-Accenture) Avis Preferred members, you can only earn Avis Points on those rentals where you don't choose to earn any partner miles/points. Thus since you can't apparently earn partner miles/points as an Accenture Avis Preferred member, you automatically get Avis Points, while non-Accenture people get a choice of Avis Points or partner miles/points.

Of course, we'll have to see how the points system works to find out how valuable they are. And we'll have to see whether there are any periodic bonuses. (The normal non-bonus earnings on partner miles/points tend to be pretty small, but they can pretty big once you factor in bonuses.)
