Hi, I am super stressed to get some Eurostar reservations after I noticed that there are NONE as soon as you log in with your pass, and ALL while you are not logged in (I wouldn’t have bought a pass for this month if I knew that earlier) but now I am trying to reach a friend which reservation to take (one costs me 89 euros more because I need to buy an extra full fare Thalys from Amsterdam-Brussels as there are no pass quota reservations left) but I am stressed that the shopping cart will expire before I could book them! Anyone knows? Thank you!
Answer

You don't see any availability before logging in:
Although I agree this does not stand out enough, considering the amount of complaints posted.
As to Amsterdam-Brussels: you don't need to buy a Thalys ticket. Just use the hourly intercity service, which doesn't require any reservation or supplement.
Thalys and Eurostar availability is best checked here:

Hi, thanks for your quick reply!
I unfortunately do need to buy that Thalys ticket, because the only train reaching Brusslels by 8am (to catch the only Eurostar that still had availability) is the Thalys. Otherwise I would have to either take busses and trains the whole night or use another travel day the day before.
Will from now on only check via the b-europe portal. Thank you! So no information how long reservations stay in the cart?

They stay there for a very long time - like days. I noticed that after doing test bookings which I never removed from the cart. So I doubt that means they remain bookable all that time. When you book directly with a railway company it's usually 15 minutes.
