Heads up, Award Trailblazers! There's a new Amex Offer floating around that can save you some serious cash on your next car rental. Check your Amex account for a deal that gives you a one-time $75 statement credit when you spend $350 or more at Avis. Some users are also reporting seeing offers for $400/$80 for Avis and $200/$40 for Budget, so it's worth checking for all available options.
The important thing is to make sure you book directly through Avis (or Budget, if that's the offer you see) via their US website, mobile app, or by calling their US reservations line. Booking through third-party sites or travel agents won't trigger the credit, so avoid using Expedia or similar sites. Also, keep in mind that the offer excludes Budget & Payless brands. This offer is valid through March 29, 2026, giving you plenty of time to plan your next road trip. Remember to pay with your enrolled Amex card to snag those sweet savings!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
