Take advantage of Eurail’s pass special before the end of June
Backpackers exploring Europe this summer and hoping to save a few bucks on travel costs, listen up. The ever-vigilant Kathleen who writes About.com’s student travel blog explains the special better than we could:
“Love this Eurail sale on now: buy a qualifying Eurail pass by June 30, 2009 and Rail Europe will give you a credit voucher good for 25 percent of the value of that pass, which can be used toward up to 75 percent of any rail travel purchase made by December 20, 2009, provided your second purchase is at least 1.34 times the value of credit. Okay, this is how it works:
For example, buy a $586 Eurail Youth Global pass (that’s the already discounted student price) and get a voucher for $146.50 (25 percent). Subsequently save $146.50 when you buy any Rail Europe passes or tickets worth at least $196.31 (1.34 times the dollar value of your credit ) next fall. That could be up to 75% off a different pass or a point-to-point ticket which you discover you need to buy on top of your pass. “ (more of that here)
Whilst you’re at it, you can also score an extra two days of free train travel if you book a Eurail 8-day Select Pass through Rail Europe from June 1 to July 31, 2009 (you’ll need to have an ISIC card). More about that here.
