Half fare travel card and Saver day pass

Ilovezermatt

Hi all.
So I’ve purchased the monthly Half fare travel card assuming all trains tickets will be reduced by 50%. Yet when I search for my train tickets, it appears the saver day pass only features 1 single price, not taking into account that I have a half fare travel card.
Does this mean the saver day pass is excluded from half fare reductions?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

When buying tickets online, you have to selected the half fare reduction type at the same place where you specified your passenger details. After that, all tickets will be suggested with the correct half fare price.

Note that the half fare card (validity period) is not required for BUYING tickets (it is not cross-checked during the purchase process), but for TRAVELING with such discounted tickets.

Go to https://www.sbb.ch/en/buying/pages/kontingent/kontingent.xhtml;jsessionid=CDCFBE5ACE4458750D9A2050CF0E50C1

You see that both a price with, and without the half fare card are listed.

Thank you. Though as you can see from my screenshot, I’ve selected the half fare option, yet, once I select a specific train time, the price jumps.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Ilovezermatt

Did you specify in the passenger’s personal information that you are about to hold the Swiss Half Fare Card? See my instructions in an earlier reply:
