We are travelling to Europe in August and I am having trouble paying online for my passes. I have called my credit card issuer and they said everything is fine and that I haven’t put through an attempt on their end. I don’t understand. Anyone have similar problems?
problems booking passes online

London - Paris and Lille (or Brussels) - London need to be booked well in advance : Eurostar has a limited quota which can sell out weeks in advance (30€ reservation). Use this website (less fees than eurail.com) :

Paris - Germany need to be booked in advance too but there’s no quota. Best use eurail.com for a cross-border train (17€). To save money : take a TGV to Strasbourg (limited 10€ fare, then 20€) and then cross the border on a reservation-free regional train : https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish
Germany - Brussels : avoid Thalys (27€ seat reservation). Take the ICE : reservation optional but recommended → 4.90€ per journey on bahn.com
Domestic Belgian trains cannot be booked.
Btw the pass is your ticket and on top of same trains you need to add seat reservations (mainly high-speed trains).
