Call Avis and they will link them onto your preferred account

This is not the case in advance, only after the event. I contacted Avis and they said that if the hire is via third party then the third party have to make the addition in advance.

I sat on the BA chat for a couple of hours and it was sorted very quickly.

Did you get anywhere with this OP? I have just sent an email in as I'm really wanting to skip the counter on arrival at MCO.

BA emailed me not so long ago saying they were sharing my details with Avis:

This was for my summer reservation for which Avis did email me (I never checked as it was cancelled).

I haven�t heard about my Xmas one yet.
