Hi Lily
Im in 03 Allier and will be travelling across to Haute-Savoie. I bought my 1st C.A.S with the offer and then one way train travel today via sncf connect app. My tickets are the QR code version (I have 3 for my journey) to use on my mobile or print. I have printed C.A.S card just in case.
At the bottom of screen view, touch tickets icon. This should then give you next screen view to then use See your ticket & See details tabs (1st are QR coded tkts the other your route detail)
With purchase made before account set up i would imagine its attached to guest log. Check for an email in spam if not in your main file, i would think there is a link in that. Hope this helps🚉
For train tickets in-app one trick I try to remember (but often forget) is to screenshot or do a print to .pdf of the ticket/QR code in the app. Then keep in files on phone.
This is because from our station there’s a patchy signal on the train for 3 minutes and then nothing for about 20 minutes. S*d’s law the conductor always appears to check tickets when there’s no signal on the phone.
Thanks Caz, unfortunately the only option the app gave me is the same 4days prior to departure, no QR codes in sight!
I shall be doing this ASAP. All my Eurostar tickets printed and on the phone.
Try the new sell back facility for train tickets: they refound 80% when they find a new client for it.
You can propose your ticket from the ouigo site (the only one which can manage a ouigo ticket).
I was unaware of the redemption option, thank you.
I had no intention of reselling the tickets, would have just been happy if somebody else could have used them.
You have up to 5 months from the date of purchase to activate it, so may still be useful if you’re not planning on using the train much immediately.
Edit: although the Carte Avantage Senior is the more interesting one to get if you’re 60 or over. Otherwise it seems you have to stay overnight for the discount to be applied.
I think this only applies to TGV INOUI and intercity. My reading is that it doesn’t apply for TER journeys, but my interpretation may be wrong. What do you think ?
I’ll be taking a 2.5 hour return journey in December (more than one night) on TER and then TGV to Paris next year, so this is a no brainer. It would be good though if I could take advantage on day trips using the local TER (liO)
Edit: When I last looked at this a year ago, I’m sure that the TER in PACA was included in the deal, but now it isn’t .
There is a TER Aquitaine reduction card, worth getting, it gives you 50% on everyone ter in region if I remember correctly. I amortised mine in one journey I think. Also the tgv one is good but my one says I have to stay a Friday OR Saturday OR Sunday night.
