Budget gift cert from Air Miles program

[matteasmom]

We redeemed Air Miles (we're in Canada) for $200 worth of Budget gift certificates. Our rentals will total $140, leaving a remainder of $60 of the gift certificate.

I have been trying to find out if that remaining $60 can be kept as a credit for future rentals or if we need to use the entire amount at this time.

Budget doesn't seem to know, and I can't get through to Air Miles.

Does anyone know??

Tansportation Mods, I've moved this from the DCL trip planning forums since it's not directly related to DCL. If this is not the place for this question to be please feel free to move it to its proper location.
thanks

I'm an avivd Airmiles user/collector....but I don't know the answer.

Post on the Canadian board...there are many AM collectors over there.

I've used budget and Enterprise gift certificates acquired from redemptions of both American Express Rewards Points and direct program airlines miles. In both instances, the certificates did not "carryover" and would be redeemed and cancelled in full regardless of whether the amount was used up entirely or not.

Also, and this is something I learned the hard way, the certificates only cover the base rental rate. The certificates cannot be applied toward taxes, fees, surcharges etc., and you will have to pay-out-of pocket for those components of the rental beyond the base rate.
