YMMV but according to this post at Head for Points, you shouldn’t have to book through the link on the offer page but can instead book through the Avis app or website and use another offer code to save some extra money.
Maximizing The Promotion
Now, you could go really crazy with this promotion if you want to. There is no mention of the maximum number of times any single Flying Club member can take advantage of the bonus.
Frequent Miler did some math and figured out that you could earn as many as 486,000 Flying Club miles. As he mentions, that number of miles would be enough for four first class round trip tickets on ANA. I highly suggest reading through the comments of his post. A reader realized you could actually earn closer to one million Flying Club points if you make your reservations just right.
If you decide to go all out, plan to do some math and make sure you will get a worthwhile return on the time and money you spend.
