Unfortunately once used the e-cert usually can't be re-applied but there is anecdotal evidence that there are instances when this has happened. YMMV
At least they kept it in one thread

I've seen discount codes that are a % off 'stick' if its processed online, but haven't tested this much (and I think it gets separated after the second change)
