was the Visa cert even shown as an option when you tried to do this reservation?
Yikes! Yes, it was showing when I did it and it asked if I wanted to redeem my certificate. It was the only certificate in my account. I can't I believe I messed that up, because I'm sure you're correct about the six months. (I don't think their system should have let me redeem a certificate that wouldn't be good by my stay, but that's neither here nor there now.) Anyway, thanks for the information! I really blew it this time.
