Hi there, 

I bought a global plus pass 3 months ago and I am using it now. I’m not very good booking seat reservations, but LNER  have been great and have helped me. I just booked seat selection via the Italy website, but I wanted to use one of my credits, i have two left. I used one for the Eurostar, but I can’t remember how i did it. Can someone please help me, explain how to use my credit, i ended up paying 65 Euro for seat selection and I want to use up my two credits left. I hope this makes sense. I only have my mobile phone now, last time (for the Eurostar) I think I used a computer to book. 
thanks

You have to book through the interrail reservation system in order to make use of the included reservations. Also the reservations for Highspeed trains in italy should be included in the plus pass, without using using the credits. (The credits are only needed for a couple of expensive reservations https://plus.interrail.eu/en/global-plus-pass#credits )

I dont have personal experience with how booking reservations with a pluss pass works. (Did not make sense for my routes)

Thanks Marvin, 

Im not sure what I’m doing wrong then, because everytime i go to book seats via interrail reservation system, it just takes me to the page, saying i can book by doing 4 easy steps and then I can’t actually book anything. I will try and login using a computer, and try and book that way. I feel like I’m just paying extra money for seat reservations when I don’t have to, but I’m scared to board a train without seat reservations and get in big trouble. Thanks fo your help though. 
kind regards, 

christine

At the top of that page is the search for the connection you want to reserve.
