Applying Swiss Pass to SBB account

TopoTim

Purchased a Swiss Pass prior to registering with SBB. Is there a way to apply that pass to my account so that I can use it with the app?

Hi TopoTim

Thank you for your request.

You can find all the information about SwissPass Mobile and instructions on how to link it here.

Best regards, FabianBl

Hello TopoTim

I assume you are a tourist and have purchased a Swiss Travel Pass, not a SwissPass. The SwissPass is a resident product, and you should not mix up the two; otherwise it may lead to misunderstandings as by @FabianBl.

If you purchased the Swiss Travel Pass before creating an account, you cannot add it afterwards to the SBB Mobile app. Simply use the PDF that you have got, store it on your phone, and show it together with your physical passport or government ID card (physical: paper copies or images on smartphones are not accepted).

Kind regards,
Roland

RolandP Thanks Roland, with the Swiss Travel Pass Flex, if I can’t add it to anything, either the website or the mobile app, how can I use it? Besides the obvious of activating each day etc…that part I get. But what if I want to make seat reservations etc…

TopoTim

Thank you to those that responded.

Hello Travelman22

The seat reservation is apart from your ticket. To make a seat reservation, you do not need a valid ticket. You simply declare the Swiss Travel Pass, if not available in the list then the ‘GA Travel Card’, which is the resident’s equivalent of the Swiss Travel Pass, as the ticket type when being asked during the seat reservation process. This is for statistics only.

Kind regards,
Roland

RolandP Thanks for your reply, appreciate it. Can you share the link as to where I can pay for seats?
