Understanding that this is a very long (26 page) thread --- and all of these recent AWDs questions have been addressed before --- here's a quick answer to your dilemma.

1) It's been posted a million times --- Do not use the AVIS EMPLOYEES' Discount AWD#. You will get in trouble.
2) It is your WIZARD number that determines which AWD#s are compatible and which are not.
3) For example, the AWD#D005297 (Amateur Sports Assistance Program) works with my WIZ#, gives a great discount and never requires ID proof.
4) On the other hand, AWD#A074800 Citigroup is incompatible with my WIZ# but it can be used if the WIZ# is omitted from the reservation.
5) By omitting the WIZ#, one loses out on getting rental credits for Preferred Select status and also doesn't get the automatic upgrades.

Moral: If you want Preferred Select status and upgrades and a good price, use an AWD# that is compatible with your WIZ# and does not require proof of membership. (I use D005297).
