What was interesting was when I checked in and used the CC that Avis has on file, it automatically changed the quote and AWD number attached to my wizard number. The agent had to manually override the reservation to force the change and I ended up using a different CC for the purchase with the card on file used as the second card they request for expensive cars.
That's very interesting! That explains why some of my rentals are showing in my rental history, even when I didn't enter my wizard number.
Where did you rent the car? In Europe? Didn't they ask you for 2 credit cards?
