Corrections on CHM status

Annual fee does not apply to all Chairmans members. The fee and broadened invitation was new several months ago. Certainly no fee for Chairman members via programs like MarquisJet.

Upgrade is to best available car when you book a midsize or larger, excluding certain specialty vehicles like Hummer and Volvo.

When I take the bus from the terminal, the manager meets me at my vehicle.. trunk open.. and takes my bags. Sometimes there's an embarassing sign, "Avis Welcomes gleff" when I arrive.

I pay market rate for gas (sometimes a few cents under) so I don't need to refill the tank. This is an unpublished benefit.

Vehicle delivery, they'll bring you a car anywhere within 20 miles of an Avis location.

Dedicated CHM CSR desk, answered on the first ring.

The guaranteed reservation thing is better for CHM than for Presidents. With Presidents you actually do need to make a reservation, you call Avis and they set up the reservation on the spot even when the location is sold out. CHM can simply walk up to an Avis counter and be given a car, no reservation required.

CHM members do not get AvisFirst free weekend rentals.
