Not when it's in Vouchers it's not.

There is at least one airline who wouldn't let you spend vouchers online.
They force you to phone up and pay the higher non-web price. I suspect that

By the time you have paid an extra 20 pound per leg for your journey, a 50
pound voucher is effectively worthless.
