FF MLS/POINTS EARNED 3000
If I have to return at the counter (for whatever reason) the miles/points are listed in the upper left corner about one fifth of the way down the page.
How strange that your typical experiences is so very different from mine with the same company.

I feel sorry for those who are now fighting to get the bonus points posted and salute your guts for willing being the guinea pigs to test this out. Given the amount of hassle involved, I think many of us would just stay out of this.

Good advise. I am still fighting for my miles and am getting very tired of being sent around in circles and even not being replied to.

Welll... my 3rd rental during this promotion just posted: 500 miles, no online booking bonus, no promotion bonus for the 3rd rental.
The rental took place in Greece, at an outstation where the contracts were handwritten. The woman promised to transmit the frequent flyer details later. I am actually quite surprised to have received anything for it at all.
The rental took place from 8th to 12th July. Do the promotions sometimes post later? I would reckon that it all posts at the same time. So here we go, chasing up. I'll start with a phone call to Flying Blue. Steady... I need a strong whisky on the rocks before doing that!

Have any of you, who have been fighting to get your bonuses, actually managed to get them?
And has anyone got past their 3rd rental yet, or even completed all 6 rentals?

I spoke to a very pleasant FB agent today. She said that a letter needs to be written, and send in to the regular FB address. One small detail that might help those of you chasing this: the envelope should be marked with Régularisation non aérienne

I have had 3 rentals during the promotion period so far, and only the miles for the first two posted properly. The 3rd rental was 7 weeks ago and I have not been credited the bonus miles yet. (The normal miles for the 3rd rental were credited though.) The promotion rules state that crediting the miles can take up to 8 weeks, so we will see if anything happens next week. (I doubt so, actually.)

It sounds like you are in the same situation as me. I reckon the whole thing posts at the same time, at once, if it is going to work. I was unaware that there could be an 8-week delay, though. I must have read that and just forgotten, because I usually scour the TCs of these things carefully.

read again, it does not say that campaign miles will/could credit up to 8 weeks after the base miles.
up to 8 weeks is just AVIS standard lingo.
AVIS Europe's head office is in the UK and they have a blog:

Ok, good to know.
About posting on the Avis blog, it seems a good idea, but the call centre agent that I spoke to told me that mileage credit is a Flying Blue issue, not Avis.
