Thanks for the heads-up. The answer is in being able to claim independent contractor status and carrying some form of business card or official letterhead. (My chrome pocket business-card holder bears the logo of one of my corporate code entities.)
But no mind...I'm now doing all sorts of things to limit any revenue leakage from giving money to Avis!
I have my own Avis code for my company, but it doesn't offer anywhere near what some of these codes offer. Avis created this madness by playing favorites with different entities, often regardless of the entity's size or revenue.
If Avis weren't so dodgy in their implementation, people wouldn't scramble around using others' codes in the first place.
