5 April 2018 -- UA started posting an "expiration date", appears to be at least 18 months after most recent activity (some are longer for unknown reasons)
also states
Expiration had previously been in the T&Cs for some time (2 years of inactivity? but now is 18 months) and had stated an ETC would be issued if the funds did timeout. Unclear if that still applies.

"TravelBank"- United.com Club & Gift Registry Q&A - No new/renewals as of 23 Apr 2019
I notice that I have money in the travel bank. What can that be used for? I have a vague memory of asking them before and it was nothing useful. I just booked a flight, did I miss an option to use it for that?

yes, when you book a flight, there is an option (above the credit card option) to use money from travelbank.

This was a failed attempt by CO to establish a travel bank. The failure was in the CO that it charged for this "Privilege". It would it be great if CO would collect all unused certificates in this travel bank.

The united.com Club (formerly called The Travel Club @ continental.com) is your ticket to exclusive savings. Your $25 annual membership fee gets you $5 back on every ticket you purchase at united.com. With so many ways to save time and money at united.com, you'll quickly find value in your membership.
The $5 credit will be added to your TravelBank after travel has been completed. These funds can then be used to purchase travel to anywhere United or United Express flies.

Agree that it has the potential to be used for a lot more - looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

TravelBank ... alive or dead?
My TravelBank membership renewed automatically on 27 February, so I was charged $25 for this service for the next 12 months. It's a great deal as long as you book 6 tickets on continental.com
However with all the changes does this mean that I'll still be able to earn the $5 per ticket on the new site?
There's been absolutely no information posted about this program being discontinued, so I'd presume it is alive and well and will continue on the new united.com
Otherwise if United charged me $25 then this would have been quite bad form.
Any news?

As for whether it's worth it - see my post above. If you book 5 tickets (one way counts, as does round trip) then you will break even. Anything above that will earn you $5 per ticket.

Basically free money (after 5 bookings). Adds up quick if you fly a lot.
