What is the difference between "My Avis" and "Avis Preferred"?
I'm confused because a benefit of the Amex Platinum card is "complimentary" Avis Preferred membership, but it appears that Preferred is always complimentary and anyone can join?
I understand that there is a difference between Avis Preferred and Avis First, but I don't see any difference between My Avis and Avis Preferred...or am I missing something?
Thanks.

Anyone who signs up for Avis Preferrred has to specify a credit card to link to their Avis Preferred account, and that credit card is automatically used on all rentals done under that Avis Preferred account.
So I wonder if what they did was automatically enroll you in Avis Preferred and pre-set your linked card to be your Amex Platinum card? (But if so, it would seem confusing if they didn't explain that!)
