I'd estimate that the weekend coupons were about 20x better than the points. I think it was something like 24 rentals = 12 weekend days with the coupons and not having to pay taxes, now I can get 1 day and pay taxes on it.
I have seen some decent redemption values in low season but outside the low season, it is really bad. The tax thing is super annoying. I wonder if Avis really submits those taxes to the states.
