Northern to reward 1,000 commuters with ‘free’ train journeys to work
Hot on the heels of their £1 ‘Flash Sale’ last week, Northern has now announced plans to reward 1,000 of its season ticket customers with the cost of their commute.media.northernrailway.co.uk
Nice idea I think.
Would be better if it included metro-cards !
They are claiming you can 'win back the cost of your ticket' but the maximum value is £100. I paid more than that for a weekly season for a 17 minute commute in 2019 and there's been multiple fare increases since!
They actually did something similar pre-COVID but it was just for those who bought season tickets on smart cards, probably DfT backed to encourage people to switch to the new method of buying tickets.
They also refer to daily, weekly and annual season tickets.
I'm wondering if monthly and longer ones are a deliberate omission and what daily season tickets are.
Suspect monthly tickets would cost them too much
and my guess would be daily refers to flexi seasonsThey've already put a cap of £100 on - and they do include annual ones. That's an odd way of referring to flexi seasons.Suspect monthly tickets would cost them too much
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, however I've just received an email from Uber with a link to their Uber Travel app which is offering 10% back in Uber Credits for train ticket bookings so I assume if I book tickets there costing £30, my Uber account will be credited with £3 within 10 working days. The offer is valid until 31/12/2022.

https://media.northernrailway.co.uk...with-northerns-special-gbp-1-50-train-tickets they may have all ready gone but can't find any availability . Northern offering 1.50 return into Leeds on 13/14th October next week for light night. Can't find any mention of which stations are included.
Will they extend the LNER 12% AMEX offer?

Just seen this mentioned in a thread - looks pretty goodSome absolute bargains to be had across the East of England on Greater Anglia services for travel between 12th October & 2nd December. Most routes (Stansted Express excepted) are permitted & the promotion appears on any enquiry as the ‘cheapest’ fare.
Hare Fares
Catch our Hare Fare offers while you can It's back! Our exclusive sale on Day Return tickets is now on. Hare Fares start from £12, and kids can travel from £2 each! Buy Hare Fare Day Return Offer ends 12th April.www.greateranglia.co.uk
Trip.com are advertising a £9.90 digital railcard deal as part of their '5th Anniversary Flash Sale'. It says there only 100 available, app purchases only and the sale starts at 10 a.m. on the 27th October. I don't know the website and I can't see that it makes it clear what Railcard(s) are included.

As predicted the GA Hare Fares promotion is causing overcrowding issues on several routes. Being so unrestricted the public in general are all going to travel at a time that suits them (which tend to be the same trains) for a day out rather than being quota controlled.

Dales Railcard Winter offer is back again. 50% off fares, instead of the normal 33%. In previous years wasn’t it a flat fare, which was a more generous offer than this for longer journeys?
Last season it was one of these [https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/182792.aspx] for £9 with the offer running early January to 2nd April (I got one on 2nd April).

I must admit this has confused me a little. Didn’t know any did on rail tickets but then I have never used anything that involves a cashback so have no idea how it works.
Topcashback.co.uk offer 1% cashback for tickets bought from Transport for Wales. For tickets from Chiltern Railways, the rates vary, depending whether you are a new customer with them, and if its a ticket on their trains. It is 0.85% for tickets on other trains

LNER is 7% usually, depending on your credit card provider

If you or anyone else banks with the Bank of Scotland and have their app on your mobile phone, I know that they sometimes have cashback offers with LNER.
EDIT: Fixed typo caused by autocorrect.

Only thing I recall is that annoyingly repetitive TOP advert.

With which credit card is that? 7% is decent
