I was wondering the same thing. The response I got from the CC moderator is that it is against the rules to exchange money for anything (with taxes/fees on an award booking being a notable exception). Since only the cert owner can book/pay, money would need to change hands, and therefore the AS companion fare is prohibited.
Seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but I didn't want to run into trouble with the CC folks so I decided not to list mine.
