Yep, only BA flights, only BA Gold. Cross my heart and hope Merry doesn't correct me.

my (swiss) AVIS Preferred Select card provides about the same services/advantages that my Hertz Gold#1 does (rebates, no queing/standing in lines). No charge for me (as a member of the swiss TCS (=the swiss 'AAA').

Stimpy has an Avis Preferred Presidents Club Card, which he did get through Centurion. This is two steps above Avis Preferred as far as I can tell:
Avis Preferred
Avis Preferred Select
Avis Preferred Presidents Club
Avis Preferred
Avis Preferred Select
Avis Preferred Presidents Club

The Starwood card was recently bumped up to Platinum I hear, because AMEX Platinum members now get Gold Preferred Guest for free.

Once again, Beckles is right on the money. Now I don't have to worry about requaling for Starwood Platinum. However I'll probably do it anyway since I like their program.
