@moritzkraehe Yes, at least the regional TER ones. I renewed by TER BFC card, and now it's after my Carte Avantage in my profile, and now it won't apply it unless I manually un-check the Carte Avantage first. @RensBloom
@jon@RensBloom Oh, wait, I seem to have underestimated the problem.
So it knows what the correct reduction cards are, but it doesn't automatically apply the correct ones, and it ignores everything after the first activated one that doesn't apply?!
@moritzkraehe Broadly, yes. But it can somehow apply a regional one AND a long distance one, if your trip has regional and long distance trains, but how that works, and if it is reliable, I don't know. @RensBloom
And yes, a reasonably designed tool would go “does this reduction card apply?" “No” “let's apply the next card listed in the user's profile, does that apply?" “Yes” and then give me the reduction
But given this is SNCF they'd never think to do something as logical for the customer as that
And... what happens now if I want to travel - say - Nuits-sous-Ravières - Dijon (on a TER with a BFC 26+ reduction card) and then Dijon - Mulhouse (on a TGV with a Carte Avantage reduction card)?
Does this mean I have to make separate bookings to get the best price?
@jon I just cancelled my freshly renewed Carte Avantage when I realised it's only valid on connections with a Saturday in between.
plus ouigo/tgv/ter... it's like you only get a reduction during an eclipse on Wednesdays but it's all in the footnotes.
@dugartogo You do get reductions on singles on weekends as well, which - just about - means it still makes sense for me to have one. But yes, it's needlessly problematic to use.
