Points Club Plus Avis Upgrade?

[Rusty776]

Hi All

I'm heading to Exmouth next week and I've booked car hire for a few days. PC+ says you are entitled to an Avis one class free vehicle upgrade. Has anyone had this offered to them or asked and received the upgrade? It doesn't mention it anywhere on the booking I've received.

Thanks in Advance

Did you book through Avis directly, or through the Qantas site?

My understanding is you need to book using the link on the Points Club progress page. The 'book now' URL has an embedded promo code, and the landing page it directs to reads:



After searching from this portal, the booking engine shows a "promotion applied" message in the bottom right corner, which links to the below quoted T&C.

Certainly not intuitive...

Thanks for your reply. I booked through the Qantas site so hopefully it has been applied.

The problem with this seems to be that I can't use other AWDs, so it's much more expensive on the QANTAS site making it not that much of a benefit.
