16-25 Railcard Deal
My 16-25 railcard comes up for renewal a few weeks before my 26th birthday - they've sent me a link to renew it which includes a 3 year deal for £65 which would save me a fortune! But obviously I would soon be out of the age range of the card.
Has anyone else carried on using a card after the age of 25 and been able to buy tickets on it?
Also any new promotional codes much appreciated - I've been unable to find any. Thanks!

Don't think you would be entitled to the 3 year deal one. But you would with the 1 year one.
If you buy it the day before you turn 26 then you can get it.
4. What happens if I have my 26th birthday before my Railcard runs out?
You can buy or renew your 1-year 16-25 Railcard up to and including the day before your 26th birthday, and your 3-year Railcard up until the day before your 24th birthday and keep using it until its expiry date. So, even if you turn 26 during the validity of your Railcard you can still make huge savings.Ex-Employee of a Train Operating Company.

Are there any banks offering a free railcard for students? Last year's £12 deal was great - any chance of it coming back in the next week or two?0
