FYSA, Avis Alaska is independent (their franchise dates back to 1954 or something) and the upshot is that they don't participate in the rewards program. There is no "skip the counter" option for Preferred members, and your receipt will not be in the app. I'm AVIS PC and only got exactly what I reserved there last month. The week after, for comparison, I had the pick of the lot in the lower 48.
TLDR: Reserve what you need at ANC; you won't get any status upgrade there. I recall seeing some basic F-150s, but not many.
