On an open ticket the payment comes in AFTER the return travel date that was booked.

I did have an email from them saying it was to be paid on the last day of validity but I think that is wrong.

In my experience it's been about 3 weeks after the last day of validity.

Fair enough. The email from them came into my inbox and I couldn't see one from Interrail themselves so I thought it was an exclusive.

I first saw it from the Danish retailer a couple of days ago and also assumed it was exclusive so I don't blame you!

I did have some mild success on a recent phone call with Uber CS. The agent asked me to send screenshots of the promotional email through the Uber messaging service. The latest reply has promised to resolve it by Monday...

Of course, the Avios didn't arrive by Monday.

And the support ticket has been closed, so the only way to raise it again is by calling them and starting again from the beginning with an agent who doesn't know what Avios are...

It's almost as if it's designed to be impossible.

l've had my credit allocated today (ticket was purchased and journey made on Wednesday last week). The ticket was a Super Off-peak Return so the technically still has validity for another 3 weeks on the return leg, although l booked for both outward and return travel on the same day, last Wednesday.

The Uber 10% cashback is working great for me. Especially when this is on top of delay repay where possible. Uber credits will transfer into your Wallet approx 7 days after the rail journey I’ve found. Very happy they’ve extended to June 24 as I will be travelling most weekends now and through the summer

I wonder if the non-TPE stations relate to them being in the same group as stations served by TPE. For example, fares from Heaton Chapel are quite often the same as from Stockport for longer journeys.

Possibly, but oddly - to get from Saltaire to Leeds (or less directly, Bradford) for a TPE service you'd have to pass through Shipley, which isn't included.

Trainline are offering a 4.9% discount using the discount code FREEZE49

(Offer lasts 49 hours)

 

[greatkingrat]

Have they realised that taking 4.9% off the new prices won't give you the old price?

Do you think most customers will understand that?

Do you think most customers will understand that?

Depends how many have looked into Lifetime ISAs and realised a 25% bonus on £4000 is £1000, but a 25% withdrawal penalty on the year's subscription plus bonus is £1250.

I remember a manager putting a long list of webpages to check on a spreadsheet and saying to pick any 10 you want to do. One person picked something like rows 30-40 inclusive and another picked something like 70-80. I joked about them wanting to give 110%.

Minimum spend £10 and maximum £50, so my £10.40 one day London travelcard with Network Railcard discount became £9.89 - 11p less than what it was yesterday!

 

[winks]

Yeah I gave up booking a ticket for next weekend. It came out 0.40p cheaper and there was a booking fee so didnt bother !

I’m not a fan or Trainline.com.

 

[Jamesrob637]

Only use Trainline if they have mega cheap offers. It's bad enough affiliating with them at work!

 

[MrJeeves]

I happily make use of their Railcard and season promos (when I was commuting to work) simply because it costs them money

Good savings if you can't/won't use Uber for their 10% credit promo which seems to be running into June.

Save 10% on Uber gift cards at Amazon

Amazon is running a new promotion on Uber gift cards. Via this link, you can purchase an Uber gift card - valid for Uber rides and Uber Eats - for 10% off.

I know it's been posted in the other thread but I'll put it here too, Uber has 10% off gift cards purchased via Amazon. Coupled with the 10% cashback, that is a very good 20% saving.

Amazon is running a new promotion on Uber gift cards.

Via this link, you can purchase an Uber gift card – valid for Uber rides and Uber Eats – for 10% off.

This isn’t as good as some of the 20% deals we’ve seen in the past, but it’s clearly better than nothing. The maximum single gift card you can buy is £150 and the T&C say that you can only take advantage of this offer once, although in the past this hasn’t been applied.

Save 10% on Uber gift cards at Amazon
The code is emailed to you – although plastic gift cards via Royal Mail are also available if you want one – and you can quickly add the credit to your Uber account. My order arrived in nine minutes.

Note that the credit can only be used in the UK. This isn’t something you should do if you can’t get Uber where you live but you are planning a trip to, say, the US soon – the credit won’t work there.

You can order here. The offer runs to 25th March.

Uber tries to encourage you to redeem your gift card by putting it into an Uber Money account. This involves a credit search and stops you using it for rail tickets. Instead, add it under ‘Promotional Code’ in the app and it goes onto your balance as it always used to. (If you already have an Uber Money account you are stuck – it will be added to that however you redeeem it, which means no rail ticket redemptions possible.)

Thanks to Vish for this.

 

[MrJeeves]

For what it's worth, for me there was an option of gift card when paying for the tickets where I could redeem it directly rather than worrying about it going into a "money account".
