Fortunately, the international line based in the UK is more generous and I always get it there (big thank you to the friendly people on Emirates Europe phone line!). In this case I usually also get an e-mail with a revised travel plan indicating the stop -over - this should be possible in the US, too. And when you go to the check-in counter to get your physical voucher (for me usually FRA), you would always have this e-mail as a proof, in case they dont have it (never happened, though).So my advice: once you got the STPC confirmed on the phone ask for an additional e-mail confirming it, in case they dont offer it right away.
