Interrail offers

[Richard Scott]

I know there was the Black Friday offer; usually have an offer on interrail tickets around New Year but seen nothing yet. Anyone know if there are likely to be offers on soon or is that not happening this year?

 

[Flying Snail]

They have confirmed there won't be a new year discount offer this year.

Ok, thank you for that. No need for me to wait to purchase!

There may be another promotion with the usual 10% discount in March or is that too late for you?

That'll be perfect for summer, thanks.

That's a shame as we've booked a trip for February and were hoping for a tasty discount. Oh well can't win at everything I suppose

That's what I was hoping for originally but as only a short trip in February not the end of the world. Saves me buying a ticket for the summer at the moment, though.

Do any discounts usually cover the summer season?

I can recall a sale around Valentine's day. Nothing to say there will be this year, but depending on when your trip is, might be worth keeping an eye.

Is anybody 'in the know' able to offer a view?

Generally the 'normal' 10% off sales offer the full 11 months.

It may be useful for some, zugpost (in German) has some historical details of interrail sales: https://zugpost.org/interrail-sale/

There’s a Eurostar reservation linked to it - am I still able to do this?

Eurostar don't ever check the number of the pass in my experience.

Wouldn’t want to take chances if it’s not the fully correct way

Likewise

Just have evidence of the old pass with you

Eurostar reservations are not linked to a pass, but to your name only. They don't mention a pass number and there's no way to check for which pass they were bought.

It's 15% for a refund and 15 Euro to exchange.

So a refund would cancel out the 15% discount of the promotion - which is probably why they do it! Would they REALLY allow you to "exchange" for an identical pass just bought at the discount?

Luckily I recently bought a pass which I'm going to use in April. I was just about to pull the trigger at full price when the March/April 15% discount was announced. As the prices recently went up, that was lucky for me.
