This may have changed, but in the past the Avis Preferred status you receive for free through the AMEX Platinum card was actually their elite level Preferreded Select status. Also, if you signed up for Hertz through the AMEX Platinum invitation they hard code a "one car class upgrade" into your profile, but that too may have changed.
