Adding FF Numbers at Avis Website
For the life of me, I cannot find a place to add my FF info on Avis's website. There is a place to add the info for "past rentals" but not for future rentals. Or did I somehow overlook it? Thanks.

Besides in your profile if you are a Preferred or other member, you add it just after it gives you the pricing and before you proceed to reserve (there are many choices in the FTP (see choices below)--the page has these items on it:

You can't add your FF number to the reservation if it's made through a TA or website other than Avis and the FF number wasn't added to begin with. After the rental is over, you are supposed to be able to add it through the website. I haven't been able to do this for about a year, so every 4 months I call and have them add the FF number manually.

I made my reservation on the Avis website and didn't add my FF number. In fact, I probably left it blank thinking it would automatically be added to my reservation. But I did see where it can be added AFTER the rental. I guess I'll just give them a call.

If you look in MyAvis and open the rental agreement that's online, there is a place you can "add frequent traveler number." This is after the rental takes place.
I did it once and it worked.

I understand my employer not wanting to pay that on my behalf. So, it doesn't work for me in CA or OH, possbily not in TX. I think it worked for UT, AL, GA and FL.
