I am concerned that she may have incorrectly reserved these award nights and that points will be pulled for the stays. Although it certainly would be better if these were e-certs and I did not need to worry about misplacing them over the next 8 months until I use them.
My Hawaii Hopper award for this summer has the same notation, but I'm not too worried about it. The rules are clear enough and, though it may end up taking a few phone calls/letters at worst, I'm not concerned about another 225K points being taken out in addition to the 150K already paid for the paper certs.
I share your concern about misplacing the paper certs over the next 5 months, or forgetting them on departure.
It's a shame these went away. The same reservations now would cost me 50% more.
