Is there a way to check the history on a Travel Bank account, specifically when an amount in the bank was used for a ticket?

Go to your wallet in your United account and click on details under TravelBank Cash and you can see all TB activity. I see it in the app but I'm sure you can see it on the site as well.

I just tried to add $100 to my united travel bank account by using BOA Visa card, and I got the following message:

Enter valid credit card
The credit card you’ve entered couldn’t be processed. Make sure your information is correct or enter a new card.


I added this visa card to my Travel Bank account long time ago and have used it several times to purchase United travel fund in the past. Most recently I purchased $100 travel bank fund successfully about 2 weeks ago. But today, I got the above error. Anyone knows what the issue is and how to address it? Thanks.

I got the same error but for Amex Biz Plat. I'll check back again in a few days. No biggie

I just purchased $50 using my Hilton Aspire without any problem.

No, can't be done directly, AFAIK.
You'll need to "convert" your Travel Bank to an FFC and then hope an agent will let you convert the FFC to an ETC and THEN you can use it for a farelock. The phone agents *may* be able to do this for you per this January 2024 DP:

I thought I'd edited the Wiki for Both farelock and Travel Bank for this caveat, but either went mental or it got changed/removed.

Thanks. It is actually pretty easy for a phone agent to purchase a farelocked ticket with TB, with some quick specialist support on their back end....was done in less than 5 minutes.
