Obviously, this would totally negate the value of that certificate and make it impossible to use elsewhere. It would be very easy for anyone who is not very familiar with the program to get tricked into doing this. Just one more way we've been Bonvoyed!
Review the booking options carefully before confirming would clear away all the accidental certificate use. Really, people ought to pay attention before any hotel booking is confirmed.
