  swiss half fare card for tourists pre booking super saver day passes

  HI, I am traveling to Switzerland from Australia and will be in Switzerland for between 7 and 10 days in July. I will not be traveling every day and I think the best option for me is the half price card and then to prepurchase some super saver day passes for the days I will be travelling. My question is - I want to travel in July but I want to purchase the card now so that I can then purchase my super saver day passes at half price. Can I buy the half price card for the month of July but use it now and at other times before July to make half price purchases of super saver day passes?

  Hello @kerrsanLink opens in new window. Kindly note, you are referring to the Swiss Half Fare Card and the Saver Day Pass.
  
  Swiss Half Fare Card – Switzerland at half the price | SBBSaver Day Pass – book earlier, travel cheaper | SBBYes, you are eligible to buy the Saver Day Pass at half fare even though you are not yet in the possession of a Swiss Half Fare Card. You must be in the possession of it latest when you board a train or other public transport service. The ticket inspector will be interested in seeing your SDP as well as your Swiss Half Fare Card.Have a good travel, kind regards,
  Roland

  We plan to purchase the Saver-Day-Pass....

  Hello? This is a family of foreign tourists.
  There are two adults (51 years old, 54 years old), two male college students (21 years old, 22 years old), and one male high school student (15 years old), all five.
  Stay at Grindelwald for 3 nights and 4 days.
  I will purchase a 3 day Jungfrau Travel Pass ticket.
  We plan to purchase the Saver-Day-Pass dated August 7, 2023 and August 10, 2023. There is no discount card.
  One family representative registered as SBB member and has one ID.
  
  1. Log in with the representative ID and register the names and information of the remaining four people,
  Can I buy 5 tickets at a time?
  2. Four adults and four college students have four second-class Saver-Day-Pass seats for August 7,
  Can I buy 4 second class Saver-Day-Pass tickets for August 10th?
  3. Should a 15-year-old high school student purchase one second class Day Pass Children for August 7th and one second class Day Pass Children for August 10th?
  4. Do I have to print out the purchased Pass and keep it?
  5. Let me know if anything else is missing. Thank you.

  Hello @hy-kimLink opens in new window.  Yes, this is a Swiss national offer. This means that the advance booking period is also 2 months. Have a nice day. Greetings Zoe

  Using a SwissPass login account to manage travel transactions as a tourist.

  I have created a SwissPass login account to use in managing my travel for myself and my travel partner. Since I am a tourist, I assume this is referred to as a 'user' account on sbb.ch (see related post by @RomanoSLink opens in new window. ). In the following link, it explains how to purchase Swiss Travel Systems offers (including the Swiss Half Fare Card) for tourists:https://www.sbb.ch/en/help-and-contact/produkte-services/offers-for-tourists.htmlI will be purchasing for each of us (while signed onto my account), Swiss Half Fare Card and tickets (train, boat, mountain excursion, etc).Questions/confirmations that I have are:Is there any reason why my travel partner and I would want separate 'user' accounts?Our Swiss Half Fare Cards and all tickets will show in the‘Tickets & SwissPass’ tile on my 'user' account? Depending on if a ticket is refundable and I decide to cancel it, can I do this via the SBB mobile app or being signed onto the sbb.ch site? And will the refund go back to my credit payment method (credit card)? Any exchanges can also be done this way via the app or sbb.ch site?In the instructions on the web site referenced above, it says to store manually in my account settings our Swiss Half Fare Cards as Half-Fare travelcards (1/2) , which is for Swiss citizens. I assume it does not matter since the half fare policy is the same in both cases?Thanks for your help in confirming my understanding of these items.

  Hello @cfromeLink opens in new window. 
  
  Thank you for your message.
  
  The SwissPass login can be created for both persons, for example if both travelers want to buy with their own means of payment. If this is not the case, only one account can be created and then a second person can be stored with the travelers. The discount must then be saved manually for both persons because the offers of Swiss Travel Pass are not subscriptions and therefore do not display it automatically. For a login for 2 persons, I recommend to print the Swiss Half Fare cards from Swiss Travel Pass. However, the individual tickets can be shown via the mobile app. To get a better and detailed advice, I recommend you to call the Contact Center at 0041 848 44 66 88 or in a SBB counter to ask about further questions.
  
  Our community page is not an explicit advice page. The purpose of the site is for travelers to exchange information with each other.
  
  I wish you a good day.
  
  Kind regards,
  FatimaH
