My understanding is that we start with 0 although it would have been nice if they threw in some points for AvisFirst members - or at least those who already made Preferred Plus by 7/1.
The big unknowns for me are:
1 - how much the points are worth?
2 - would all corporate rates that did not qualify for frequent flyer points qualify for Avis point accumulation now?
3 - would a partially paid rental (e.g. $200 rental but turned in a $25 coupon OR if they took off $25 due to problems) earn points (for the paid portion - $175 in our example)?
T&C seem to say NO for #2 and #3 which is not good.
Thanks.
Members start with 0 points and are eligible to earn 250 bonus points after opting-in to Avis Preferred Points and completing a qualifying rental within 3 months. Avis Preferred Plus members can then earn 25%-50% additional bonus points on each rental while they maintain their Tier status.
1. Points are not worth a specified dollar amount. The redemption of Points is dynamic, much like car rental pricing, and the quantity of points required for benefits varies based upon such elements as duration of the rental, date, car class, time of year and location. For example, a one-week rental at a major airport location during a peak travel period will require more points than a weekend rental taking place during off-peak season at a local market Avis location in a smaller city. All of those factors will determine how many points are required to obtain desired benefits.
2. Generally, yes. There is no surcharge to earn Avis Preferred Points; however as per some corporate agreements, employees may not be eligible. You may want to check with your company to be sure.
3. Yes, members would earn points on the paid portion of the rental; so, in this case the $175. However, please note that points are not earned from taxes or fees.
