I can't get it to work for child but adult is ok. Interestingly though, when I look for fares they all show just a few points as I go forward from, say, 1pm departures. But then if I scroll backwards some of them mysteriously change to the Black Friday 1000 pts.

I had this but booked all outward journeys for just after 9am. The only way I can get a child ticket to work is to use the accessible booking tool

Where does it say that it is a black friday ticket please AAu, when you click on the time you want?

The order of screens I (think I) went through was:

specify starting station
specify destination
specify date/time
specify number of adults/children
Pick a specific train (on this screen I said I wanted to book the cheapest fare on the selected route)

Then on the next screen was the first time I saw Back Friday Advance single mentioned

Save time AAu, dont book one way then the other, do a return, and get 2004 points

are you kidding me!!

But that wouldn't be 2 advanced singles, it would be an advanced return! I never thought to try that!

All sorted now thanks :beer:
I have only booked returns for next week, I want to see the points added before I do any more.
As I said above, incase you missed it, buying return tickets is quicker than just doing the singles.

:rotfl: Nope.

I tried to buy for 1 adult and 2 kids, but kept getting an error, but think that will give 3000 points.
Edit: Tried doing 2 adults but only got the 1000 points, so that wont work.

Never even crossed my mind to try that!
