Got asked if I wanted to use points in the app this week for a booking I was making at YYC...seemed like it would only take points for 1 day of the 4 day rental even though I had more points accrued than another day or 2 would have cost...never had any idea what I was going to do with those Avis points anyways so I'll take it as a win!

So update...picked up the Car at YYC last night, fairly efficient process although it seemed like the agent wasn't sure how to process a rental that was partly paid for by points. It now appears that I'm being charged the original reservation amount and the points show as deducted from my account...will be interesting to see the final bill on Tuesday.
