Is this not a real promotion? If it is, has anyone actually gotten their Amazon gift cards?

Thanks!
It has worked for me. You have to be careful, because the Amazon rate is not always the cheapest rate. You might get a better rate without an AWD or with a different AWD. If you want to use it, make sure that the “Amazon Benefits” is selected in the AWD field. If you’re properly signed up and using the Amazon Benefits rate, then it will say so on your confirmation.

The gift card is typically deposited in my account within 24-48 hours, and I get an email from Amazon letting me know that Avis sent me a gift card.
