Don't ask me! I won't touch these number limited promotions. You have no way of telling if you are within the first 100, or 10,000, customers.

Homepage still has the promotion. Someone here must have an idea of how it might work?
If 10 people each made 10 speculative bookings in the first 5 minutes of the promotion, will that have used up the 100?
If booking number 99 was made for the last week of the promotion, and booking number 101 was made for the first week of the promotion, does booker 101 have a chance of getting the extra points at the end of the promotional period if booker 99 cancels at the last minute?!
I'd like to think that Avis would give anyone the extra points who booked while the homepage still had the promotion...

Looks like there’s another Avis deal being rolled out, good for the first 1,000 bookings. Again, I don’t think I’ll be partaking in this one.

I'd trust the Spanish one personally. The main difference seems to be the addition of an extra weekend in December for the Spanish one unless you can spot any other differences?
I've booked a rental Sat 11th - Tues 13th Novemeber so I'll post here and let everyone know if it credits...

Spanish version:
-rent between 8th-12th november or 5th-10th december
-minimum 3 days rental (any car category): in both cases, your rental must include the night from saturday to sunday
English version:
-limited to first 1.000 bookings
-2 day rental between 8th-12th november
-car category C
I think you will be fine... but I´m still in a battle with Avis regarding the 18.000 Avios promo in August/September. So i´m not "in" this time.

It's disappointing that you didn't get credit for the previous promotion. I didn't use the recent 18k bonus one (which I think was in any case limited to 100 bookings) but I did use several of the previous promotions and they all tracked fine...

Last time Avis eventually replied to my chasing-of-Avios to say that I had used the wrong discount code. Naturally this isn't true, but I can see no way to take it any further. And who knows whether the rental office I use regularly overrode my reservation details with my Preferred profile.
I plan to avoid this one - not worth it.

As these promotions are so generous I am tempted to give them a go when I need a car anyway, although there are no guarantees of course.

The one where they said 2,000 participants, was on the website for many weeks and people successfully earned the points from it when there must have already been tens of thousands of participants (given that Spanish people will often book through www.avisiberia.es without even noticing the promotion).
