Whether you end up with a British Airways voucher from COVID, a canceled flight, or other circumstances, you might be wondering if you can sell it to get money back?
While British Airways themselves will not exchange your voucher for cash, it is possible for you to sell your flight voucher and recover some cash.
Listing unwanted BA travel vouchers on the SpareFare marketplace is quick and has a high probability of selling for a great price.
You’ll need the eVoucher number as well as the last name and email address associated with the voucher. You can find these details in your eVoucher email you received from British Airways.
Here are the steps to sell your British Airways flight voucher:
And that’s it! You will make approximately 70% - 85% of the voucher value back and help someone else get a great deal on their BA flight.
The registered holders of BA vouchers don’t need to travel on bookings made using their voucher. Someone else can use your BA e Voucher. Note that bookings made with a third party must be four days or more before the departure date for security reasons.
You do not need to change the name on your voucher to the new passenger’s name. Third party passengers will simply input the original voucher credentials at the checkout page for the ticket purchase.
If the full value of the voucher is not used on a booking, BA will simply send a new eVoucher for the difference to the email of the buyer’s choice.
No, once you have accepted a voucher as compensation, British Airways will not convert it to a cash refund. That is why using SpareFare as an alternative channel to get money back instead of an unused flight voucher going to waste is a sustainable option.
British Airways eVouchers are generally valid for one year from the issuance date. However, COVID flight vouchers are valid for travel until September 30, 2025.
On the upside, for anyone who cannot complete their travels by the expiration date, British Airways eVouchers are fully transferable. If you don’t think you will be able to use it before 30th September 2025, you can always sell it on the SpareFare marketplace.
Be sure to check the expiration date on your flight voucher. The longer the time until the expiration date, the better chance there is of a successful deal!
If you are unsure if you have a voucher to use or what the remaining balance is, you can check it out on the BA website with their voucher tool.
Note that any newly issued vouchers within the last 24 hours may not be included. If you do not receive an email, try checking back the following day, or contacting the British Airways customer service.
Lastly, you can also find the balance of your British Airways vouchers on the confirmation email that was originally sent to you. Be sure to check your spam or promotions folder if you do not see them!
