Extended: Avis 5K and Budget 3K Bonus AAdvantage Miles Offers
I just got back from vacation and I think I’m suffering from Post-Vacation Syndrome: I’m behind on reading, still working through my emails, and a little slow with updates for the blog. That’s why I’m a little late with this news item.
Back in July, Avis and Budget introduced what so far has been the best AAdvantage bonus offer of 2012: 5,000 miles from Avis and 3,000 miles from Budget. These two great offers were set to expire on August 31, but now they’ve been extended through September 15, 2012.

I earned 5K bonus AA miles with this promo + 250 miles for the rental (5 days) and now we have booked another rental for this weekend. Hope to get another 5K 🙂
@ Marisa – Good for you!! I’m also renting a car this weekend and was thrilled when the extended the offer. Hope those miles take you someplace fun! 🙂
FWIW, just wanted to share my experience. I did a 1 day rental twice. No bonus received. Avis customer service said the rentals had all the right rate and bonus codes but one rental was coded as non-revenue and the other was getting only the basic 50 miles per day. Avis will manually request the bonus.
@ MichaelIP – That’s good to know. Thanks for sharing.
I had been waiting for some miles to post from rentals on Sept 1 and 2 and finally got 50 miles to post per rental. I called Aadvantage to ask about the 3000 bonus miles per rental and when they (and I) looked for the promotion on the AA website, only the current offer came up, which began yesterday and offers a lot less points.
I have no proof, like a screenshot, showing that the promotion was extended til Sept 15.
Does anyone have a screen shot or other proof that shows this offer was supposed to be, or is still, good til Sept 15?
I hate to think that my drives to LAX were only to earn 50 AA points.
My bonuses eventually posted. Had to contact Avis and had them open an issue ticket. Got a nice surprise of 5k bonus instead of 3k for 1 day rental 🙂
