Grabbit - Book rail tickets by 19/01 for 25% discount

Thought this should go under Grabbit as it's a limited time offer -

First ScotRail Offer - Book online by 19 January 2007 and save 25% off your rail tickets!

NB - Tickets aren't restricted to Scotland

The discount applicable with First ScotRail bookings usually appears towards the the end of the online transaction, just before payment is taken

    Doesn't look like you can use railcards with it - so not much use for me. :( dammit.

    Thanks.

    About the 'can't book rail cards with it' issue- last time First Scot Rail ran this sort of promotion. I think there was a way to get the discount with your rail card :confused: Can anyone help on this? TIA
  • Yeah its only worth it if i can use my railcard!! Such a shame , i need to book 2 train journey as well.

    I just looked at the booking page and it asks you what type of railcard you have so I think it will take that into consideration when working out the cost.

  • To use a railcard on this:-

    Firstly configure your journey and add to basket without using the discount link (go directly to https://www.firstscotrail.com).
    Then minimise window and then click on the 25% link in the post above and if you now go to your basket you will see the journey with railcard & 25% discount!

    Hope this helps someone :)

  • I don't think the discount shows until the payment page

    Correct! Discount shown as 'Fsr Dine Around Edinburgh 25% Cost' on payment page.
  • Roberto - just attempted to purchase via your "railcard" method and it does not work.
