Avis First Club
First post.
I rented today from CHA for a quick one day rental, I noticed on the agreement that I am now an "Avis First" Memeber. I previously was Avis Prefered Select. I asked the desk guy, and he remarked that First club was the same as Preferred. Anyone else see/hear that?

When I was renewed for Preferred Select a couple of weeks ago, the Customer Relations person told me that the levels would be changing and that I would become an Avis First member in mid-March or mid-April. She stated that she didn't have the details yet.

I saw Avis First on my last 3 rentals too. It doesn't matter what the program is if there is not more consistent recognition. I really don't need free nights. I want upgrades.

Log into your profile at Avis and report back what status level it lists you as.
Mine still reads:
So that hasn't changed... yet.

In case you dont know, there has been a major management turnaround in SOCAL.
Lots of managers quitting.
Gee I wonder how that happened (think back to my dinner with friends recently).
So my "friends list" that are current with Avis is dwindling fast.

I am now listed as an "Avis First" on the website. I could see no explanation of what that means. I don't expect that I will be treated any differently, but hopefully the new program will better recognize loyalty, more in line with some competitors. I believe they have Taurus hard-coded in my file somewhere. In 2017, I expect the CLE station will be stocking 10 year old Tauruses for my exclusive use and irritation.

On a hunch, I types in www.avisfirst.com and the site is there with a little info. You have to "Activate" your Avis First status on the site.
More free weekends (2 days), up to 8 a year for every three rentals.
They tout special offers, but if the offers at the link are any indication, I don't think anyone is going to be very impressed.
I can't find any information about service levels at all.
