50% off 1year railcards with trainline

Does not work on 3 year cards

Pop up should give you a unique code so watch out

That brings a £30 1 year family travel card down to £15 making it worthwhile with almost any trip with a child currently

Sadly shows as Expired.

Was it a single-use code?

I'm guessing so then, no idea why they added it to my account as I don't use it that much, so I would say ignore the code but login to the app to see if you have it available

Edited to remove code and show people it may be a pop up, thank you

Pro's: Great discount on travelcards. Especially for 3 year cards like F&F, Senior if a discount is offered (has been in the past)
Note some "work benefit" discount platforms e.g. Edenred, Benefitshub have also had discount codes in the past for direct purchase on the railcard website, always worth checking there if you have access to such. 

Con (maybe a big Con): The card is digital only with trainline (no way to get a physical card), and we have seen reports here that sometimes these become inaccessible.  Keep screenshots of all transactions and code numbers in case you need to argue with trainline in the future, ideally screenshot the card visible in the app.

Note once you have the card you can book anywhere, but you need to be able to show the digital card in the trainline app on the train for revenue inspection.

Also: Trainpal have a deal, as listed here (25% on 1 & 3 year cards): 
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/trainpal/. 

Again digital on their app, and you need to buy one ticket via trainpal in 30 days to "activate" the card.

(Which is actually a slightly better deal that I could get for trainpal get on my workplace discounts portal--I have fed that back to them.)

Also, has anyone ever seen any deals on the "regional" railcards 

https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/railcards/regional-railcards/ 
plus also the Club50 railcards offered by Greater Anglia/Scotrail?

(Network Railcard is handled by "national" body and is often included in promo deals for e.g. TT,F&F, Senior, etc.)
