VA second hand sales don't really exist any more?

[ja1]

Has anyone else noticed that sales of "second hand" VA tickets or flight credits have completely dried up in 2025?

There's the usual handful of people trying to flog their free CC flight but nothing else really.

Over the last few years I'd occasionally bought credit from folks that couldn't use it - but I haven't seen anyone advertising this for a few months now.

A lot of the credit you saw arose since 2020 from covid cancellations, and associated policies allowing cancellation.

No doubt. And I noted that VA was able to bank $278m of that money that people never ended up redeeming (amazing!). And a further $180m in the following year.

But even before the pandemic you'd see people selling Travel Bank credit for various reasons and now there's absolutely nothing that shows up..
