Every time I've used a joker it's pulled out of the revenue availability as expected but the flight gets booked into the appropriate redemption bucket. And that includes on straight redemptions or cash bookings combined with joker + GUF. Although with the recent GUF changes I don't think the joker is as valuable as it once was for that.
