    Good offer. I think the £10 referred to is a discount on the cost of the annual card, by the way - not the cost of the card.

    Terms and conditions

    1. Your Family & Friends Railcard will be distributed as soon as possible. It is not subject to the usual Family & Friends 1-year and 3-year Railcard delivery conditions.
    2. A maximum number of 125,000 trial cards will be available on a first come, first serve basis until 23.59 hrs 15 May 2016.
    3. Your Family & Friends Railcard is valid for use between 01 June and 31 July 2016.
    4. The trial Railcard must be carried on all journeys purchased with discounted tickets.
    5. Offer available to residents of Great Britain aged 16 years or over - excludes employees of News UK or ATOC Ltd.
    6. Only one free two month Family & Friends Railcard can be issued per person. No replacements will be issued if lost or stolen.
    7. The trial Railcard is not transferable and remains the property of ATOC Ltd.
    8. The Family & Friends trial Railcard gives 1/3 off adult rail fares and 60% off kids' fares. Minimum group size is at least one adult (the named cardholder) and at least one child aged 5 to 15 years. Maximum group size is four adults aged 16 years or over and four children (aged 5 to 15).
    9. The Railcard discounts are not available on First Class fares. A morning peak restriction applies for journeys in London and the South East, Mondays to Fridays.

    11. The £10 saving is valid between 11 July and 11 August 2016 with the unique promotional code sent to registrants with their trial Railcard.

    Why can't they do these offers with the "Two Together" railcard? I don't have a child under 16 any more and even when she was 14/15 she wasn't interested in travelling around the country with mum and/or dad. So we've bought a "Two Together" railcard and travel on our own.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Does anyone know if they check you have a child with you? If I book 4 adults and a child it's still cheaper than just booking 4 adults?

    Almost certainly, yes, depending on the train company and the train. No child = large surcharge.
