I’ve used that link for the offer as well but it showed the same price for my dates as had been on the regular Avis site. The cashback site I mostly use is showing 8% for Avis at the moment so if the price for you through the Amex link is still 15% higher you’d be better off going through the cashback site with the potential bonus of getting the Amex statement credit if they do only go on the merchant name showing up on your account.
My assumption however is that they want you to use the link to prevent double dipping by using a cashback site or similar link, so I’d expect them to put some tracking on the link similar to those on the cashback sites so they know when you’ve used it for a purchase and not via a different route.
