I desperately hope this promo comes back. I can get rentals from a location near me for only $11/day (plus taxes/fees). Oh please come back!

Just remember that you have to rent from an airport in order for this promo to work. It's too bad that you can't rent it from any location.

Has anyone rented from a local location and been able to have the promo miles honoured?

The coupon does not work for some of the non-airport locations that I tried to book online, so I am guessing the answer is No.

Hmm, I have a rental on the 14th and 15th for one day. Wonder if Avis might pull some shenanigans in crediting me the miles. I haven't had issues with the miles posting so far till the last rental. Avis CC said I should get those miles though.

Incorrect!!!

It depends on the rental location. Some locations are no longer listing miles earned on the receipt ever (neither the printed receipt or the emailed one or the online one). Yet that does not affect receiving miles.

I did 5 rentals at LAX in August. None of them showed miles on any receipt. Yet all of them earned 3050 miles (except for the one from 8/10-8/11 that hasn't posted yet, but that's because of the Avis->AA posting glitch covering that date, not anything to do with the receipt obviously, since 4 other rentals that showed no miles on the receipt did post miles to AA already).

I have created case file XXXXXX and am submitting it to our Frequent
Flyer department at this time for further review and investigation. You
will be contacted with our findings as quickly as possible.

I'll give them this, they're very responsive. Looking good thus far, and I will update once I know more.

To further add some credibility to the fact that you do not need to have your reservation made 24 hours in advance; I made a reservation less than an hour before I got to the airport, completed the rental a day later, and 3050 miles showed up on the receipt. Good stuff.

I just had 50 points posted for 3 different rentals during Sept 1-3. I called AA and asked about the 3000 miles and I was told the offer had expired. I explained to the AA rep that I was sure the promotion had been extended til Sept 15 but the AA rep had no info on his end.

Should this question be directed at Avis instead?

Yes. Read 10 - 15 posts above this one.

Amazingly, this $11 rate is at an airport location. I had previously looked when the promo first started and rates were sky high for the summer, but have plummeted. The airport is quite a small one.

Agreed. As I mentioned, I've got 6 for this weekend, at $18.90/ea ai, and will probably book at least 1 - 2 more.

I received a letter in the snail mail yesterday indicating that they will credit the missing miles for my rental ending 5 Aug on a future statement. A real live person actually signed it. Interesting.
