Yes, Avis Preferred Plus status is typically valid for one "full calendar year" and will expire if the member does not meet the annual re-qualification requirements. To maintain this elite status in 2026, members must generally complete either 10 rentals or spend $4,000 USD within a single calendar year (with a higher tier requiring 20 rentals or $6,000 spend). If you received the status through a "Status Match" or a credit card benefit (like the Amex Platinum), the status is usually granted for a 12-month period, after which you must meet the standard rental criteria to extend it. While your basic "Avis Preferred" membership never expires as long as your account remains active, the high-value perks of the "Plus" tier—such as complimentary one-car-class upgrades and bonus points—will be removed if your high-fidelity rental activity drops below the required threshold.
