Avis AWD Number - Virgin Atlantic

[JohnK]

Does anyone have an Avis AWD number for Virgin Atlantic? When looking on the VS site it mentions that the AWD number is on the back of the membership card. Well guess what? I never received a membership card. It probably won't make that much difference but you never know.

I have witnessed the volatility of car rentals in the past day. The car I wanted to hire from MEL airport for 1 day has gone up ~$30 in a matter of hours. I have tried using my Avis Wizard number and it makes the rate worse and I tried using the Qantas AWD P691500 and it saves a couple of dollars. If worse comes to worse then I will have to do without a car for 1 night in MEL or hire from Thrifty.

I had a scare earlier this morning when I went to book the Hertz car rental for 5 days and the price went from ~$182 to ~$265 in a matter of hours. I tried any number of things to no avail and just when I had given up I managed to get the same rate as earlier and quickly made the booking.

On my recent trip to Cairns, I found that the discount via RACV (autoclub) gained the biggest discount with Hertz out of the various numbers that I tried including via few different serach engines.

I want to hire an Avis car for 1 day from the airport to minimise airport taxes. I have booked Hertz already from Melbourne Downtown for the other 5 days.

The plan was to collect 2,000 VS Flying Club miles for the two rentals....

Silly me. I thought I had saved that AWD number but I cannot find it anywhere.

I tried sending you PM but your inbox is full. Any chance you can PM me the AWD number again?

Thanks again Nick. Saved away in Notepad.

All I need to do next time is remember which Notepad file I saved it in.

Any chance you could forward it this way, please? I'm trying to work out some rentals myself to get some runs on the board with VS. So far I can only compare Hertz rates with standard Avis ones.

It is amazing how quickly the VS miles build up receiving 1,000 miles per rental although it would appear that VS award availabiity in WHY is poor.
