Title: Should I receive a discount for my season renewal? Post by: ChippyAft on March 13, 2011, 11:32:46 I renewed my annual Maidenhead to Paddington (rail only) annual season ticket today. The lady in the ticket office confirmed that there would be a 5% discount available if I renewed my standard class ticket, but not if I wanted the "Eastbound first class" option, as this would not be a "like for like" renewal.
I wanted to check with the experts that she is correct. Details below: Standard renewal: ^2496; Discounted rate ^2371 Easbound first class: ^2760; discounts do not apply. Thoughts welcome...

To be considered a renewal needs to be like for like. Title: Re: Should I receive a discount for my season renewal? Post by: johoare on March 13, 2011, 21:20:01 Just an idea, as I don't know, and imagine it's not allowed.. But if you renewed it as it is now, could you then upgrade it to include First Class for the Eastbound portion? Does anyone know?
