Question

Are airline vouchers on ebay a good buy?

Answer 1

The $75 vouchers by United is a good buy as you can get $150 per roundtrip with the purchase of 2 $75 vouchers and 2 different itineraries with each itinerary one-way each.

You can not get in trouble with these vouchers as United sends these $75 vouchers to random people and then they just sell them on ebay for $15-$20 for a $75 voucher. These are known as electronic certificates or E-Certs for short.

Answer 2

Just about every airline has a policy that prohibits their goods or services form being sold by anyone other than who they have allowed. Saying that, it NEVER stops people from trying to sell them. Some carriers troll eBay listings and have them pulled, some do it after the fact, some don't catch them all. If you really want to buy one, just decide first if it would be worth it. If you get caught, you'll have to buy the tickets all over again, and not likely at a low price.

Answer 3

they are probably standby whcih are illegal to barter or sell, and the vouchers would be hard to verify authenticity so be very very careful if caught trying to redeem one you can get in to BIG trouble!
