American Airlines and Avis rent a car bonus

Avis Honors How Long We¹ve Been Frequent Flyers
While Hertz was the first car rental partner of the American AAdvantage
program back in 1981 -- it was only an award redemption partner. The first
car rental company to award miles for car rentals was Avis in 1984. And, as
part of AAdvantage¹s 20th Anniversary celebration, Avis is offering an
interesting bonus promotion. Here¹s the deal: when you make a qualifying
rental of three or more days, including a Saturday night, Avis will award
you with 100 bonus miles for every year you have been an AAdvantage member.
While it is possible to earn up to 2,000 bonus miles (it is the 20th
Anniversary), your bonus will likely be somewhat less than that. To find out
what you are eligible for, you¹ll have to call the AAdvantage Service
Center. For us it¹s a 1,600-mile bonus, and that makes a great decision to
choose Avis when our next car rental fits the profile for the bonus. The
bonus miles offer is in addition to the standard 50 miles per rental day and
customers must rent before August 31, 2001.

To earn bonus miles, customers should mention their AAdvantage/Avis
Worldwide Discount Number (AWD) K817118 when making an Avis reservation and
provide their AAdvantage membership number at the time of rental at any
participating Avis airport location worldwide. This special Avis/AAdvantage
bonus miles opportunity can only be used once during the promotional period
and the offer may not be combined with any other offer, coupon or promotion.
Customers should allow six to eight weeks after the promotion ends (Aug. 31)
for bonus miles to appear on their statement.

This is great for those that fly American Airlines and always wonder what Car rental company to use. this could be an incentive for you.

that is a good deal. Even though we are flying American Airlines and have a rental with Avis next week We are not AA members. We are starwood members though and avis gives 50points per day which will add up for us since we will rent for 2 weeks. CANT WAIT DISNEY HERE I COME

For those of us who joined the frequent flyer program back in their infancy (the good old days of triple miles!) this is good deal. (Just in case you are wondering, I joined as an infant! I am never growing up!)
