Here in the Eurail Community, we love celebrating your contributions. Whether you’re asking questions, helping others, or just jumping into a good train-related convo, we want to recognise your efforts and inspire others to do the same.

 

Ranks

Your rank shows how active you've been in the community. The more you interact — by starting topics, replying, helping others, or sharing your tips — the faster you'll climb the ranks. Ranks come with icons and profile flair to make your profile stand out. You’ll also see a green reputation bar grow beneath your profile picture as you level up.

 

Badges

Badges are another fun way to highlight your contributions. You can earn them across all parts of the community, just by getting involved. Your badges will be displayed on your profile. 

 

How to earn badges:

Badges are unlocked by posting new topics, answering questions, joining discussions, and generally showing up. There’s no single path — the more active and helpful you are, the more badges you'll earn.

Some are easy to get. Others take more time and consistency. But don’t worry — there’s no secret formula. Want to "game the system"? Just be everywhere: ask, answer, share, react, and stay curious. That’s how it works in the best communities — and it works here too.

 

Earn badges, unlock perks

Some badges can be traded in for a discount. Find out how our Community Rewards Program works.

 

StorytellerShare your travel story with our Content Team or share your story by posting here in the community and tag ​@Eurail Community Moderator in your post. By sharing your story you will earn the Storyteller badge.

Travel GuideSubmit a travel tip to our community map. If it gets added, you’ll earn the badge. You can also earn the Travel Guide badge just by sharing your full itinerary, must-see destinations, or other travel recommendations in a post—just be sure to tag ​@Eurail Community Moderator so we don’t miss it!

Innovation TrainJoin our user test group and help shape the future of Eurail. You can earn this badge by participating in user tests and interviews. 

 

Types of Badges

We’ll let you discover most badges on your own, but here’s an overview of our two main categories:

  • Rail-themed badges – For those who are always jumping into convos, helping others, or keeping the train of thought going. Example: Trainsetter — for someone who lends a hand in multiple ways.

  • One-time exclusives – Special badges that can only be earned during a specific event or community moment. Like Party Starter — only available on launch day.

Curious to see what else is out there? Start posting, commenting, sharing — and keep your eye on your badge board. Your next rank or badge might be just a post away.

Where did you buy your pass? Mobile or paper pass? You should have received a confirmation e-mail with details, and if you bought it on interrail.eu, then you should see the details in your Interrail account, under Order overview.


Oh , I’ve found it now on my phone , it wasn’t showing  on the inter rail site site on my iPad? Does it only show on one device perhaps ?

The website should be usable on any device.


Hi , yes the website does work on both my devices but on my iPad , it just shows my trips and not much else but on my phone I can see the passes which I can’t on the iPad

If by "on my phone” you mean in the Rail Planner app, then that is the expected behaviour. A pass can only be on one device at a time.


Oh ok well that explains it then , thanks for that
