Not sure what his GA said, but I (who am aware of the change) have heard a GA say something to the effect of
"Christmas is coming and won't this make a great Christmas present to a family member?"
She was selling the voucher as if it could be used as a gift. Personally I am one of those people that read what they sign, and try to ask about the restrictions, but even so I think the basic tenets of customer service would be to inform people EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE OFFERING. How about "Who will take a $400 voucher, good for your own use only?" Just prevents getting good customers upset with you for no reason.
And OP - I bet there is some leeway...I was told once they would let me stack two "new" vouchers due to my status (though in the end I didn't). Call and ask, though mine was closer to the "new rule" date.
Yes the GAs absolutely should not be making false statements like that. Another case of so many DL agents not knowing the rules.
