Hello! We are looking to purchase the interrail plus pass (beta) which include most seat reservation costs. That is 29/3 and we want to travel in August however it says the pass will need to be activated within 3 months of purchase. Does this mean we need to book the seats and travel in August within 3 months or does it mean we need to travel within 3 months.
Also
Has anyone used the plus pass with seat reservation costs covered and is it worth it?
Thanks! ☺️

To see whether it's worth it, you'll have to do the maths. Check the list of "List of included countries and railway carriers” to see what reservations you can make and whether they use any credits.
Use this page to see what reservations costs normally:
You will indeed only be able to book the included seats after buying the pass, which you can only do no more than 3 months before your start date. It's only the start date of the validity period that can be no later than 3 months after purchase.

Hola, mi idea es viajar desde el 25 de julio al 05 de agosto, puedo comprar ya el interrail global plus pass de 5 días?
You have to activate it no later than 3 months after purchase. If you buy it today, the latest possible start date is 7 July, so the pass will then be valid until 6 August. You could then indeed buy it now, but you need to set the activation date to 7 July.
entonces, entiendo que con el global plus pass tendría acceso a todos los trenes sin pagar reservas de asientos, si lo compro ya, creeis que podré coger asientos de paris a londres el 28 de julio para 4 personas? y el 1 de agosto de londres a bruselas? gracias

No es “todos los trenes”. Los trenes más caros son limitadas. Tienes 3 créditos para esas reservas. (Eurostar y TGV internacional cuestan 1 crédito. El TGV en Francia cuesta 0 o 1 crédito.)
Pero entiendo que si vamos 4 personas y cada pass tiene 3 créditos, no haya problemas para reservar los asientos para esas fechas, es que como está en versión beta, no sé si todo funciona correctamente, supongo que sí, gracias
Puedes consultar la disponibilidad de reservas para vuestras fechas antes de comprar un pase, en el sitio Rail Europe.
Versión beta = producto experimental. Normalmente todo va bien, pero hay algunas problemas a veces. Si tienes que rembolsar o cambiar las reservas, no es siempre fácil en el sitio Interrail
