SAME contents, different formats/layouts lead different results.

After reformatting the terms of TRAVEL CERTIFICATE, you will be able to see the detailed usage restrictions and conditions clearly.
You will find it's almost impossible to use this TRAVEL CERTIFICATE. 
So, think twice, is it really worthy applying for this card? Nah...
