Visa Electron and Ticket Collection Machine

[Slough]

Hi

I have a £10 voucher from redspottedhanky that i plan to use to buy a ticket for £8.40 tomorrow . I will be collecting this from the ticket machine at slough . It says I need to have a debit/credit card to access my ticket from the machine . I am slightly concerned that

1) The ticket machine won't recognise my visa electron card
2) I have used a voucher to pay for this and no card details are on the redspottedhanky website , so even if it takes electron cards the two are not linked.
3) Am I worrying for the sake of it ?

That's a good question. I think it'll be fine but I am not 100% sure.

There's a previous thread about this: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=45451

It seems that you can use any card as long as you have the reservation code.

1) I have used the TVMs for ticket collecting using a visa electron for many times with no problem. I believe many websites accept visa electron payment for TOD too.

2) I was also using TVMs to collect tickets paid by redspottedhanky vouchers, it seems it should accept any card.

You will be fine

Just collected the tickets , couldn't have been any easier . Took my electron card without any problems even though it wasn't booked on that card.
