Hertz Vs. Avis - points?
Which is a better option between Hertz and Avis when it comes to points? I am currently a Hertz Gold with 7 rentals YTD - 2010. I do not see many points on my account - just 600+. I really do not car about upgrade. do like nice cars but have not had good experiences at EWR - Hertz. Does AVIS have a double dip points program (points for rental + Miles for Airlines) and good free rental certificate programs than Hertz?

At Avis I can get up to 5,000 [lousy] Delta miles per rental. 
(and even more with Delta's current 50% bonus.) Last year I netted over 200k Delta miles by renting from Avis! The biggest con with the Hertz points is that one cannot use them for international rentals.
