Oh, I didn't know there were no fares near £10. I'm using mine to go to Manchester for 70p.I don't think many people will find a useful £10 fare that they want to buy and spend over £10 to use the balance of their voucher.

Does anyone know how to get this? The offer page says it's not available to the general public until tomorrow, however I'm signed in yet can't figure out how to book it yet. It doesn't seem to show up on the journey planner.
It's currently open to holders of Rewards accounts only - it shows for me, so presumably you don't have one?

There wasn't much availability on trains to London on weekdays. If there aren't any that day for your destinations, the fares don't seem to visible either.
I do have a rewards account, and also received that email.

I've had a fairly good look at journeys between Edinburgh and London, and Leeds and London, but can't seem to get anything to come up other than the usual fares. I must be doing something wrong somewhere.. Maybe I'll just have to wait until they release them to the public.
Interestingly the small print makes it clear the cheap tickets are available between Leeds and London too (though not beyond Leeds towards Bradford/Harrogate/Skipton).
I'm sure you get the cashback on any tickets booked through their site, regardless of whether or not you use their services.I'm fascinated by the whole Southern / TCB issue. Firstly, I had no idea that cashback sites were so popular! They've even found their way into the rail industry... but what confuses me is the range of tickets on sale at the Southern site. Until now, I've only used it to buy travelcards, which they obviously would sell, but without spending ages going through WebTIS (which seems to take an age for me to load!) just how far can we push it? Inverness > Kyle of Lochalsh @ 6.0% anyone?
If only First did cashback as their FGW booking engines sell rovers, including 14-day First Class ALR!

Thanks - hadn't thought of that. Presumably advances will become available some time, as I've already got them for friday the 15th?Presumably because it is half-term week.
How often do EC do that sort of offer?
And when the fares goes up.Makes sense really, as this tends to be when trains are at their quietest.
RSH are now offering a whole load of other benefits, aside from train travel, for their loyalty points: https://loyalty.redspottedhanky.com/
