Yes, I would probably get 9 free weekends this year, but it's rather shameful that customers have to go to another site just to find out about their loyalty program.
That's really hard to believe that you've had 40 rentals in the past 12 months with no noticable benefits.
My guess would be that your Avis number (if you have one) is not in your reservation. Certainly any of us would have called Avis by now asking what the problem was. Are you getting your FF miles for each of your rentals? CALL AVIS... your credit card bills are your proof of rental.
I only have about 10 rentals per year and I've been Preferred Select for three years in a row.
