12. LOYALTY CUST#	This field is used by the Avis/Budget WLB Merge program. When part of the rental is paid by loyalty award points, that amount will be specified in the LOYALTY-REDEMPTN-DOLLAR-AMT field in the WLB file. This field specifies the CARS+ customer that will be used when posting the receivable to the accounting files. The A/R Aging Report for this customer can then be used to reconcile against the loyalty reimbursements reflected on the Avis/Budget Licensee Statement. For dual-branded locations, a different customer number can be specified for each brand. By use of the A/R Account # field in the customer record, an A/R Account set up specifically for this purpose can be specified. EXAMPLE: Type AVSLOY (RET)
