This might have been mentioned upthread but I just went through the Avis and Hertz upgrade process, so I figured I'd share the steps here.

Emailed Profile.update@avisbudget.com with my existing Avis Preferred number and told them that I recently got an Amex Platinum card which should give me complimentary Avis Preferred Plus status. 5 days later I received a response that my status has been updated to Avis Preferred Plus. 3 days later I received the official Avis Preferred Plus welcome email.

I then submitted a status match request with Hertz at https://pub.emails.hertz.com/Hertz_Status_Match (Avis Preferred Plus under 25 rentals matches to Hertz Five Star). I uploaded my Avis Preferred Plus Confirmation email as proof.

Confirmed? Where did you see this? I checked the terms on my Platinum accounts and don’t see them as options, is this for new apps only?

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Amex biz plat offers free green cards. Do those cards have return protection or only the primary card?

I’m a Amex platinum additional cardholder and under 18.
Will I be able to get into centurion lounge or delta sky mile lounge (are the agents strict on not letting in minors which are not accompanied by parent)?

Doubtful anyone here has experience with that, but lounges check your card and boarding pass not your license, so unless you look very young...

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, so not sure if this is a new perk or if I just missed it.
