Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there a way to get around it?
Also, I looked at doing two one way tickets, and it will allow me to apply the individual voucher to each leg, but that then creates two PNRs, so if I have a change, it is 2x the change fees. I would like to use them both for the same reservation.
Thanks.

If you have more than one person on your reservation you can apply a voucher to each person, up to one voucher per person.

Has been the policy for a number of years. There isn't a way around it unless you do the one-ways as you suggest, with the change fee issue you described.

Thanks - Is this policy written anywhere? The T&Cs of the voucher don't state such.

Quick follow-up - as has been said by many here - if you don't get the answer you like, hang up and call back. Called today and was treated to a pleasant surprise. While it was stated that this was in fact the policy, the agent worked with someone off line and was able to use both certs for one round trip flight.^
This is what the Redempton/Transferability section one voucher says:
Certificate/eCredit is non-transferable unless assigned to someone traveling with the original certificate/eCredit owner on the same reservation at the time the certificate/eCredit is being redeemed. Delta assumes no responsibility for unauthorized use of the certificate/eCredit by any person who presents it for redemption.

Could someone confirm expiration? Terms say "Validity Period: eCredit is valid for one year from date of issue. Validity period will not be extended." One could read that either as "fly by" or "ticket by" expiration date.
If I must FLY by expiration date, I can do it, but I'd prefer to ticket and fly after expiration date. Beyond speculation, can anyone provide data point?
