American Airlines’ free tickets wind up on eBay

USA Today:

Vouchers for free flights that American Airlines gave to basketball fans last week are turning up for sale on eBay and other Internet sites.

American hoped to make a splash by giving everyone at the Dallas Mavericks’ last regular-season game a voucher good for a free round trip between Dallas Love Field and any of four other cities.

By this week, some of the 20,000 vouchers were being offered online for $15 or more.

Airlines usually prohibit customers from transferring or reselling vouchers.
