Here are the steps to sell your Vueling flight credit online:
1. List your voucher on the SpareFare marketplace by completing the form for vouchers found here.
2. After your voucher listing is complete, you will begin to receive bids on your voucher.
3. Once you accept a bid on your voucher, the buyer will send the payment to SpareFare.
4. You submit the voucher credentials to be validated by SpareFare, and then sent to the buyer.
5. You will be paid in 10 working days after the transfer of the voucher to the buyer.
That’s all there is to it! You will get approximately 70% - 85% of the voucher value back and help someone else get a great deal on their flight.
Note that if you can’t find your voucher credentials, you can search for the email from Vueling that was sent to the original account holder or request the confirmation email be resent.
Can You Transfer The Voucher To Someone Else?
Yes, Vueling vouchers can be used by someone else with the permission of the original owner. Anyone can use the voucher to pay for a flight and extras (seats, luggage, etc.) at the checkout page on the Vueling app or website with the booking code and original email address.
The name on the flight credit doesn’t need to be transferred to the new name of the recipient. Furthermore, the original voucher owner doesn't need to be a listed passenger on bookings made with the voucher.
Similarly, discount codes will be applied after selecting your flights by simply entering the discount code. There is no other information required to use a discount code.
Vueling Flight Voucher Rules
Vueling has 2 primary types of travel vouchers, a Flight Credit and a Discount Code. Each type comes with slightly different terms and conditions that you need to be aware of.
Flight Credit
-
Flight credits are fully transferable and anyone can book flights with the credentials. They do not need to be transferred to the new person’s name.
-
Credits can be used to pay for anything on the Vueling website, including extras like bags and seat upgrades.
-
Each booking will have its own booking code and flight credit, so you will not be able to combine them.
-
They have both “book by date”, which means you only need to book your flight before the expiry date.
Discount Code
-
Discount Codes can be used by anyone as they only require an individual code in the checkout process.
-
Discount Codes are valid for one use. They do not retain any value if your purchase is less than the value of the discount code.
-
They may have restrictions as to the different types of fare classes that can be used.
-
If you book a flight with a discount code and subsequently cancel the flight, the discounted amount will not be eligible for any type of refund.
Important Note: Vueling vouchers are generally compatible with LEVEL and Iberia flights. This can be a big advantage to allow for maximum flexibility on flight selection. Confirm with your voucher’s terms and conditions that this applies for your voucher.
What Is The Expiration Date?
Vueling flight credits are valid for 18 months from the date it was issued, which is non-extendable. Note that Vueling vouchers generally have a “book-by expiration”. This means that you can use it to book any flight up until the expiration date - you do not need to complete your travel before the expiration date.
You can confirm the expiration date in the original email or by checking the Vueling website.
If you decide to sell it on SpareFare, the more time until expiration, the better odds of a successful deal for the highest price!
Can I Exchange A Vueling Voucher For Cash?
No, cash refunds for your Vueling travel credit are not permitted after it has been issued, but they can be redeemed toward a future Vueling flight.
If you choose to get a “Flex Pack” or “Fly Grande” fare, you will be able to cancel your booking up to 48 hours before the departure and get a credit for the full amount free of charge.
Remember that if your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours or you are denied boarding, you will likely be entitled to a refund and compensation.
In the event you miss your flight due to extenuating circumstances (serious illness, surgery, court summons, or pregnancy), you can submit a claim to Vueling and they may issue you a voucher refund at their sole discretion. The earlier you contact Vueling the better.
Lastly, if you are not able to completely use the voucher before expiration, any remaining amount on the credit voucher cannot be converted into a cash refund.
What Is The Balance Of My Vueling Voucher?
You can check the remaining balance and expiration date of your Vueling voucher on their mobile app or website. You will need to enter the booking code and email address to see all of the voucher specific information.
Keep in mind that travel vouchers may not show up in their system for up to 24 hours after they are issued. If you didn’t receive an email containing the voucher details by then, contact Vueling customer service.
When you make a booking with the voucher, any residual amount will remain on the same voucher until it is completely depleted. Separately, discount codes are only valid for a single purchase - they do not retain any residual value if not completely used.
How To Use The Vueling Flight Credit
To use a Vueling flight credit, you will search for the flight you want to book on the Vueling website or app. Then enter the voucher credentials (6 digit booking code and email) on the checkout page of the Vueling website for the ticket purchase. You will see a box that says “Want To Pay With Your Flight Credit”.
The amount of your voucher will be deducted from the booking total. If the value of your credit is more than the flight, any remaining value will remain on the same voucher to be used on future bookings. If there is a remaining amount to be paid for your booking, you can use a credit card for the balance.
Tips To Sell Your Voucher Successfully
Now that you listed your voucher sale, you need the best tips to set yourself up for success.
The Right Discount: People purchasing flight vouchers online are looking for a deal. But that doesn’t mean you need to sell your voucher for a steep discount!

The Details: Include what the voucher can be used for, the specific expiration date, any miscellaneous restrictions, and how the voucher can be used.

Communicate: You may start to receive bids pretty quickly, and communicating with potential buyers is highly beneficial. You will have the ability to message buyers directly so you can finalize a sale. Bidders may also have questions on your listing that you can help with.
