You stayed two times at hotel A, not one night hotel A, one night hotel B, didn't you?
Somehow I seem to have messed up with the terms and conditions before.

It could be that BW is issuing the certificates on a certain schedule, rather than a fixed time after the second stay. For example, the person who mentioned above that they'd just received their certificate after 5 days, maybe they actually received their certificates then because their second stay happened to be 5 days before the first scheduled "sweep" of certificate mailings.

I'm a Diamond member and had my 2nd stay on March 14th. Haven't received anything until yesterday.
Since I already made a reservation for April 2nd I called their hotline asking if my voucher would be arriving in time.
They sent me the voucher manually afterwards cause apparently it still hasn't been issued by the system.

Keep in mind that if you don't have a close-to-immediate need for it, there may be a benefit to it arriving later: It expires 60 days after fulfillment, so the later you get it, the later it expires.
I had originally considered making my second stay a couple weeks later than I actually did, just to try to get the 60 days to start later, but I guess that wasn't necessary.

So it's valid for slightly longer than 60 days by my count, but not by much.

My best guess is that they would parallel points availability. Ie, if the hotel has rooms available with points, then those same rooms are probably available with the free night certificate. If the hotel has no rooms available for points (or the specific rooms which you want are not available with points), then those same hotels/rooms are probably not available with the free night certificate either.
