Avis Pref. Plus UK - Free Weekend Vouchers
Hi All,
I'm puzzled by Avis UK's Preferred Fre Weekend Voucher process. On their website they state that:
"This is how it works: Sign up to Avis Preferred, rent with us within the first 60 days of sign up and we will automatically credit your online Loyalty account with €100 bonus (visible within 5 days of returning the car). Rent twice in one year and you get a free vehicle upgrade voucher and a money-off voucher. Hire just one more vehicle that year and a free weekend's rental will be yours to enjoy.
Hire with us five times or more (and spend €1,000) within a year and you reach Avis Preferred Plus. This means you get another a free weekend's rental, as well as a vehicle upgrade whenever available. Also, we waive the second driver fee and lay on priority car availability."
Do people read the above (or from previous experience as a Pref Plus member) as meaning that I should receive another free weekend on reaching 5 rentals/€1000 spend, since it sure seems that way?
In my case, I started the membership year in May 2017 as a Preferred Plus member (having reached 5 rentals/€1000 spend the previous year), I hit 3 rentals in December and (after having to email CS) received my "normal" free weekend voucher. I then hit 5 rentals/€1000 spend in February and was wondering if I should have received another voucher then. Should I email CS about not receiving a voucher? Or am I reading the above wrong??
Thanks in advance for any insight, and keep up the good work.

What's best way of getting the voucher out of AVIS?

Same here. I emailed CS using the online form (https://secure.avis.co.uk/contact-us/email-us) a month after completing 3 rentals, and they (2 weeks later) emailed me to say that they would "resend" the voucher. I suppose there's no harm now in sending them an email to ask about the 5 rentals/€1,000 spend this year and see what they say. This may take a while..
