50% off Family % Friends Railcard

Morning All

I am looking for someone who received one of the 2 month free railcards from the Daily Mail in May - from 13th July there is a code on the back of the 2mth cards that will give 50% off a new 12mth one (I don't think it is one code per card but a universal one so people can use more than once). Any one know the code please.

Just booked to see Matilda going up by train on August BH and my existing one expires 15th August, doh!

Many Thanks

    My free 12 month card expires in July and it's no longer a NatWest account benefit, now our accounts have been switched from blue to silver.

    If anyone has a discount code for a new one, I'd be grateful too.

    unfortunately there is no unique code on the back of the free railcard - I believe there was a code on the letter which came with the free railcard. I kept my free railcard, but didn't keep the letter that came with it, so I'm hoping they do what they did in previous years with this offer, and send me an email reminder once 13th July comes around. Otherwise I'll have to pay full price for my railcard (I need it for the end of August).

    Why don't you send a email like Hulahoop09 did?

    I emailed also, and it was confirmed that as I'd applied for a free railcard through the Daily Mail, I'd get an email with a reminder of my code for the half price railcard for a year.

    I got the email as promised, and have used the code. I think you only got an email with the code reminder if you had applied for the free 2-month railcard.

    So I guess peejayw didn't apply for the free Daily Mail railcard, and thats why they are hoping someone hasn't used their code for the half price railcard?
