They will mark this in your FF# so its a one-time fix.
The T&Cs clearly state now that it is only for the person flying. However, if you buy one ticket (such as through your corporate TA) and then attempt to purchase a new ticket and link the PNRs, then you will be able to use the certificate (because technically your flying as well).
As always, YMMV.
Long time lurker, hope this helps!
I don't understand how this can work. AFAIK you must first purchase the tickets, then call to link the PNRs. So the voucher wouldn't be associated with the other person until after their ticket had been purchased.
