total value of Gift Certificates in cart

When purchasing Gift Certificates
Is there a way to calculate the total value of Gift Certificates in the shopping cart.

I need a way to exclude the value of Gift Certificates being purchased from being applied to a particular promotion.

Re: total value of Gift Certificates in cart

You'd have to loop thru the products in the cart and find which ones have products_model like 'GIFTxxxxxxxx'.
Or, depending "where" you want to use this info, the checkout_success page has a number of order-related numbers available for submitting to commission-tracking services, and all the discounts/coupons/gift-certs are summed into one variable there, which might be useful if that's where you need this info.
