Now I am left with two travel certs that will be harder to fully utilize the value without combining too much of my own $. Oh well, I guess I could have worse problems and not have any vouchers at all!

This one is a trade-off. DL returns it to the original cert, but it also carries the original cert's terms (e.g., expiration date, etc.). CO issues a new cert, so you get a new date, but as you've pointed out, you can end up dividing a larger cert.
