It took me a while to figure HOW to get the Cert Box to work. Yeah, it is after seeing the points being deducted while I thought the Cert was a default.

You first check the box of using points. ONCE the Point Box is checked, the Cert Box changes from Gray to White without tick mark. Now you can check the Cert Box and the cost now changes to ZERO point.

Why the website is designed in such a way is beyond me. Try the above method first and see if it would solve your issue.
This is different on my account. When I start to make a rez I have only 1 box and it says: "Use Points/Awards". It is always "white" and waiting for me to check it or not.
