I selected a London to Amsterdam trip that said reservations required, I added the trip to my pass activated the passes and went and went to purchase the reservations but I can no longer find that train trip, it is offering me very few options on the reservation site compared to the Eurail Planner App.
can anyone help please, it makes no sense to me, it clearly said limited seats available (be quick) and reservations required. Than you in advance.
Solved
allowed to select a ticket in my pass but trip not visible when going to get required reservations.

You can add any train on Rail Planner regardless of availability, there's no link. However to get onboard you'll need to show a seat reservation.
What is the travel date? Eurostar frequently sells out (passholder quota) but there may be alternatives such as changing in Brussels.

Please don't activate passes or travel days in advance. There's no advantage in doing that, and it can lead to lost travel days e.g. if you wake up ill on the planned start date and you want to postpone your trip. Or if you decide to postpone and then forget to change the start date.
The best place to book pass reservations (without extra fees) for Eurostar is www.raileurope.com. Use "Add rail pass”.
Thank you both for your replies, my travel date is 27th June, I will look at raileurope later today.
Not used to booking online and even though I had watched many videos on using the Planner App it still managed to throw me a curved ball.
why is life never simple lol. Thanks again.
On 27 June, there are 3 direct trains London-Amsterdam: at 6:16, 11:04 and 18:04. The first one still has availability in both classes; the second one has no availability for pass holders anymore. The third one has availability in 2nd class only. But you can also book Eurostar to Brussels (more choice and availability) and then change to a reservation-free Eurocity Direct. You can also book another Eurostar between Brussels and Amsterdam but that's quite expensive and not really worth it in my opinion.
