Railcard Avis 

Got an email 16/01/22 advising me that it was time to renew our two together rail card even though it didn’t expire until 8/2/23 so renewed but on checking new card it expires 16/01/24 not 8/02/24 so have LOST 25 days!! Just got email from customer services saying I pressed wrong link even though I had to log into my account and there was nothing they could do oh and hoping I have a nice day!!

I applied for two senior railcards filled in the forms correctly for two people
I received two cards in my name!
After a phone call, I cut one of the cards as advised and sent a photo no response!
I have ordered a new card for my husband this morning, after checking “my cards” it is in my name again!!!!!
Now I have to wait till it arrives and go through the whole process again
What a useless website!!!!

The most painful experience of my entire life....just save your time and money and pay the full price!!!

Their website does not work. Per earlier reviews. They have not attended to deficient technology,

I ordered a three year senior railcard and it didn't arrive. I emailed customer services who apologised and explained that there had been printing issues and it should be on its way. I emailed again and heard nothing and eventually rang and spoke to a very helpful member of staff who sorted it out there and then and I received it a couple of days later. Unfortunately it had been treated as if I had lost it and they were issuing a replacement which means that I have lost 20 days on the card through no fault of mine. I have emailed, written and emailed again to ask them to amend the vaild until date but have had no response. I know 20 days isn't a lot but this is all their mistake so why should the customer lose out, they just don't care.

Didn't work last year. Didn't work this year. Fix this.

website not working, no reply from customer sercice, cannot buy railcard, going to have to cancel my train ticket and pay the admin fee, then rebook with no railcard, all told this stupid website is going to cost me about 50 quid extra on this ticket because it never works!

They share you data with other website, such as completesavings.co.uk without even realising it.
not user friendly, and misleading the customers.
I was not aware that i had authorised sharing my payment details, bank cards bank accounts etc with another provider while i was purchasing the railcard. however, a membership popped up getting money from my bank account.

Renewed wife’s card on line but it arrived with my name. Contacted customer services who immediately cancelled the card and refunded the £70. Bought digital card online and again arrived with my name. Contacted customer service who again cancelled the card and issued a refund. Very helpful gentleman then completed the whole process on the phone so wife now has her card. To sum up, website needs work, customer services absolutely brilliant.

Have been trying for two weeks to obtain a two together railcard and like other people on this website have experienced same problem "Oops something went wrong" Why do we have to put up with this load of rubbish that operate railcards, far better if they were all kicked out, and the business handed over to a responsible company. It grieves me to award one star this should not be.

DIRE, DIRE, DIRE!!!
If I could have rated ZERO stars, I would have.

This is the third Railcard I have purchased with a Tesco Clubcard voucher code and EVERY (yes EVERY!!) time, on reaching the final payment stage, it returns an error message saying

"We’re sincerely sorry, it would appear that our systems have encountered an unexpected issue

If you would like to clear your basket and try again, please click on the link below."

I wouldn't mind if it was a one off but honestly, I'm losing the will with this. I have cleared the basket and tried again, and it's the same thing. Then you email only to be told it could take up to 10 days for someone to get back to you - WHAT???!!! TEN whole days - seriously what kind of muppets are running this organisation??

I have been trying unsuccessfully to renew my senior railcard online for several days. The photo uploader simply doesn't work, which is clearly a longstanding problem given comments on this and other websites. The people who run the railcard website clearly don't give a damn about the problem and have done sod all to rectify it. The 'help' they give doesn't work.

Absolutely agree with other comments! Rubbish!
Have tried for over one week to get a railcard.
Enter all your details then a message pops up 'Oops, something has broken'.
No one answers the phone line and no response to my email. It's a disgrace.
I was going to use my Tesco Clubcard vouchers. I'm surprised that Tesco give them the time of day!
I will certainly be letting them know!

Absolute rubbish website an App. No wonder we have the worlds worst transport system!
Unable to buy or renew Railcards online, the phone line is never answered and bugger all reply from my emails.
I've been trying for weeks now and after spending an AGE inputting the details, you get the same error message. Same as in 2019 when this happened.

Website not working and the call centre won't help.

Awful. Tried to renew my existing railcard on the app but don't know why they even have that as an option because it took my payment, photo and copy of my student card and I didn't hear anything else from them. Contacted them and was told that I need to print out a form, fill it in, get it signed by my Uni and then send it back to them. They won't accept a letter from the Uni which is signed and dated. Was easier to apply for Council Tax discount. Someone needs to take a good look at their ridiculous system, way more complex than it needs to be. Also customer services on the telephone are terrible. Bored, uninterested people on the other end who couldn't care less. Awful.

I finally gave up and called 03453000250 and they confirmed the website was not working and will put the suggestion forward to put a message on the website. I had been trying for days, well over a week!! After 24 minutes of waiting and finally speaking to an Indian sounding call centre, I spoke to a human and got the railcard ordered using my 100% discount Tesco code too.

Hopeless, who owns this stinking pile of so called technology?
Drops out numerous times, options either don’t work or aren’t even on screen. After an hour I have given up! Railcard application process is pathetic. A disgrace to use in GB. Get something done about this.

If I could I would give no stars. I have tried in vain to renew my disabled railcard. The website wouldn't let me get to the last page. So I rang the number. Spoke to someone whose English was really bad. I was on the phone for so long and getting nowhere as he kept saying I will need to put you on hold to reboot the system or something like that. I was so stressed out I hung up. I did manage however to renew my railcard only for the money to be taken out of my account but no code to enable me to download it on my phone. I have emailed them several times but guess what? No reply. I need to book tickets for a pending theatre trip but unable to do so till I get my card. This service is rotten to the core.
