I wondered the same in a different thread. The idea would be to make a few AXON reservatios at hotels where the Diamond Desk must still manually issue an AXON cert (more likely at European hotels) then, later, try to have the cert attached to a different reservation. Whether this will work after 3/28 is anyone's guess. I, and others, think probably not. But there is no downside to trying if you are flush with points. Just be aware that the certs say they are only good up to cat 7s, so, if the certs are useable after March 28, they would be limited to new cat 7s most likely.
