Here's the link but this is what it says
Car and Hotel Rewards
Continental Airlines Chase credit and debit card members can use their miles for car rentals and hotel stays.

I was inclined to say that its not worth it, but after I finally found availability I tried a sample booking from 2/9 to 2/11 EWR and it priced out at 6990 miles a day with Budget, while Orbitz is showing it at $121 a day. However Dollar and Enterprise do have it for $69 a day.

Unless you have specific advantages @ Budget over Avis or Dollar, you're only getting 1cpm.

Exactly, though I thought you'd get even less. Its probably a big YMMV

I think 1cpm is usually the redemption value for these types of offers.

How much could you get per mile if you only have 25000
