Special Offers Discussion

A quick scroll back to post 4571 will yield your answer.

I thought it would it’s just the fact it sort of implies you need to collect a voucher a week. Then there is the collect two/three conflicting message. To the average customer is must be rather confusing.

Shame about the engineering work on the West Coast over weekends.

The two/three vouchers thing happens every time. As I understand it, it is two vouchers for Reach PLC papers and three for National World papers.

They're usable from today. As several of the papers are daily you may have several vouchers by the weekend. To use today you'd have to buy more than one paper today.

Reach plc papers

I never received this info in my email only the Nation word list so where did you get this list. I'm playing catch up so I may have missed a reply.

I bookmarked the Reach page from the first time I used it - newspaper offer Reach plc - they just update it every time.
Scroll down to the participating papers link.

Yes.

If anyone's wondering about LNER Unidays discount, they've replied to a couple of people on twitter to say it'll be reinstated next week.

 

[ServerHoster]

Speaking of LNER, they are offering 10% Perks Credit Cashback instead of the usual 2%, if you book via their app, for the next 6 weeks or so.

 

[Kite159]

I guess they are trying to push people towards using the app to book rather than booking via the website.

 

[Silver Cobra]

The only shame with that is the Nectar Connect promotion that often appears (10/20pts per £1 spent on tickets through LNER) only works through the LNER website, so can't be used in conjunction with the LNER perk credit uplift through the app.

 

[RailUser23]

Interested in buying tickets via LNER but I'm a bit confused about what I can do with the LNER App/Website.
I'd like to get cashback for non-LNER journeys (I have both Quidco & Halifax card), but will not be travelling anywhere near LNER network (mostly Midlands & SW England).
Considering a trip up to Edinburgh at some point later this year, so LNER perks could be handy for discounts on Advance tickets I guess.

Can I get cashback via LNER when buying non-LNER route tickets?
Can I use the LNER website or app to order paper tickets & pick them up at my local station ticket machine (West Midlands)?
Can I get cashback for purchasing a Family & Friends railcard via LNER?

Otherwise may consider any discounts on West Midlands, Crosscountry or GWR that might be better for me.

Any thoughts?

 

[YorkC]

Do you mean cashback on your Halifax card? If so then yes - you get paid the same amount no matter what it is you buy on LNER, so it doesn't matter whether it's an LNER service or not. If you use the website you can collect paper tickets but the app (I'm pretty sure) will only sell e-tickets. I don't think Quidco have an offer on LNER.

I'm not aware that you can even buy railcards through the LNER website. Trainline, however, have a offer on Topcashback for buying railcards if you're a new customer.

 

[Haywain]

You can.

 

[YorkC]

You can.

Oh yeah, I see you can. Is that new?

 

[Haywain]

Newish, within the last 6 months or so.

Thanks for reply - that's what I was hoping to hear regarding the Halifax card cashback! I have a Network Railcard on Trainline, but not keen on using Trainline for F&F card - apparently, there's no easy way to share the online card with a second cardholder.

Edit - looks like I can no longer get the Halifax cashback (it was a 5% one-off deal) or Quidco for LNER. Will try Northern Trains instead - 2% cashback.

The Airtime Rewards cashback app has been offering 5% cashback for all purchases through LNER. Just make sure you purchase tickets with a bank / credit card linked to your Airtime Rewards account.

 

[RailUser23]

I haven't come across Airtime Rewards, but sounds like a good call - 5% cashback is great for train tickets, and money off mobile phone bill can't be bad.

 

[mangyiscute]

Yeah I've actually got 8% on it, and it can be used on app and for non-LNER services too

 

[YorkC]

I think 8% is what everyone gets initially - for me it lasted for months - but eventually it reverts to 5

Trying to take advantage of the Quidco offer and the better exchange rate at www.myinterrail.co.uk. On Chrome, if I just try for 1 pass it asks me to fill in details for 5 passes...... Then the next time I try it asks me to fill in details for 6....... Trying a different browser - Edge - it...

I've not noticed that offer. Do you have to register for it (I've already registered for O2 Airtime).

You need to have registered for Airtime Rewards (installed the app) and use one of the registered payment cards.

 

[Pemberton]

If you click on 'Retailers' then 'Travel' on Airtime Rewards, hopefully you will see the LNER offer.

 

[westv]

Ah! I didn't think you needed to install the app too. I will correct.

I only just saw this but having made a booking on the LNER website today the quoted Perks credit is at 10% as well so maybe not just through the app.

 

[Pemberton]

It might be worth checking any Bank Cashback offers this morning as mine has a new LNER 5% cashback offer.
