We’re landing in Paris in a week, and bought Eurail passes for our family of 4 to get to Switzerland and spend a couple weeks there. However, we just found out last night that we need to reserve TGV tickets as this is our first time doing the train. eurail.com gives us an error every time we try to check in: Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later or find another connection. This connection will be removed from your cart.
We’ve tried different computers, cleaning cookies, etc., so the problem doesn’t seem to be with our computers as Eurail customer support intimated.
Calling SNCF did not yield results either. They only accept European credit cards, and American Express. We have neither. Are there any other options? We REALLY do not want to rent a car but it’s starting to seem like the only viable option.
