    Ah, that'll be why my last year's railcard expires on 13th August......!

    Just to let people know, in case you didn't read all the terms and conditions:

    You can carry on using the railcard with your child who has turned 16 since you bought it, until either the railcard expires, or they turn 17.

    So we've had an extra few months of cheap fares :j:j

    Does anyone out there have spare code, as I kept meaning to apply but never got round to it in time.
    If anyone can help,please pm me. Thanks
  • Codes will only work at the email & postal address the 'free' card was sent to, I had a spare code last year - was sent 2 by mistake. Gave one to a friend but it wouldn't allow her to use the code for half price without putting my email address & postal address on.
    2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please!

  • Will it renew from the date this one expires, does anyone know, or is it better to wait? (Mine's valid until 2nd August so don't want to lose those few weeks...)

    Just logged online to apply for a new one at half price, mine doesn't run out until 1st August & this it what it says

    Your Railcard is expiring within the next 30 days



    If you renew your Railcard now your new Railcard will be timed to start when your current Railcard expires.

    Can you take out the half price offer to run from when the "free 2 month" railcard expires? When I log into my account it doesnt show the free one as an expiring card....only the one I had previously.
  • I don't think so, sorry
