Honestly? This First program dont mean jack. The only thing I like about Preferred is the "talk to someone immediatly" phone #. I dont think you can improve that any more, unless they can read your mind and call you first :P
Member Qualifications

Membership is by invitation and a renter must have the following qualifications to be eligible:
* You must be in Preferred Service.
* In a calendar year, you must have 12 or more paid rentals or a cumulative rental day total of 35 or more days on one wizard number to qualify.
* All qualifying rentals must check in and check out in the same calendar year.
Membership Activation
Top
* Once you qualify, Avis will automatically upgrade you to Avis First.
* Your Wizard number will remain the same but the service will be enhanced.
* You will be asked to go to avisfirst.com to activate your membership. If you do not activate your membership your rental activity will not be tracked and you will not receive your free weekend reward coupons.
Membership Expiration Rules
Top
Your membership in Avis First is based on your rental activity in a calendar year. Avis First is evaluated each year and members who have not met the rental qualifications will be returned to Preferred Service until they again reach the desired threshold. The following expiration rules apply:
* In your inaugural membership year of Avis First, your expiration date will be set to December of the following year.
* As an example, if you first become a member of Avis First on July 2007 your expiration date will be set to December 2008.
* In all subsequent years that you remain a member, your expiration date will advance one year at a time.
* As an example, if your current expiration date is set to December 2007 and at that time you still qualify for Avis First, your membership will be renewed and your expiration date will be advanced to December 2008.
* The expiration date for former Preferred Select members who are enrolled in Avis First on program launch date are set to December 2007 as we are replacing one program with another and thus you were qualified by reviewing your 2006 rental history.
