Applying AMEX e-Certificate to Avis rental
 
Recently purchased a few e-certificates through AMEX to apply $400 or to my upcoming Hawaii trip

When going through Avis's "buy it now" function, there is no place to apply this certificate. When calling, they're telling me that I cannot use this feature and must go through the regular booking, which adds about an additional $100 per rental to my trip.

Is this accurate? It totally dilutes the value of the certificate and i would not have purchased them if I had known this prior

Weak !

What do the Terms & Conditions of the e-certificate say? (i.e. the fine print)

My guess is it says this:
"Offer may not be used in conjunction with any other AWD#, promotion or offer."


In which you should have known it was not available with other offers, like "buy-it-now"

How did it work out eventually - I am trying to do the same for SYD.

Is there a min 5 days of rental required to use the eCert - this is the IT # right?
