Need help buying rail passes for a group of 3 family members

tfmc

Hello everyone,
I am trying to purchase a swiss rail pass for me, my wife, and my daughter for 8 days, 2nd class, for use next year, using the same credit card. I would like to do it all at once, rather than 3 times.
Is that possible?
Thank you in advance

Hello tfmc

No, this is as fas as I know not possible because you can only buy one thing at a time. I think this restriction / missing functionality is in place because it would create problems during the payment (because there are payment options which are only valid for one person).
Two hints:

Are you really sure you need the Swiss Travel Pass? It is only worth its money if you plan to travel around a lot and on long distances. You might be better off with a Swiss Half Fare Card plus singular tickets.
If you already now know your travel dates, you can also get quite cheap Saver’s daypasses (which might even be cheaper than a long single journey), with the only downside that they are not reimburseable if your plans change.
For your daughter, if she is strictly below 6 years old, she doesn’t need her own ticket
If she is strictly younger than 16 years old, you can get a Swiss Family Card for free which allows her to travel for free as long as she is accompanied by you.

Actually, we are almost 70, and my daughter is a little over 30.
We don’t want to have to buy tickets every time we want to go somewhere; that is why we want the rail pass.
We will only be in Switzerland for a week for my wife’s birthday. We will arrive in Zurich, take the train to Lauterbrunnen, stay for a couple of days, take another train to Tasch, stay for a night, then spend the next night at Iglu-Dorf, then take a train to Brig for a night, the following morning take the Glacier Express to St. Moritz, spend the night, the next day take the train to Zurich, spend my wife’s birthday night, and the following morning head to the airport for the flight home.
I think what I am asking is whether I could use the same card for all 3 of us without any issues.
Thanx again.

If you buy them through SBB.ch, you can’t do multiple purchases in one go.
You can alternatively do it via the offiical resellor swissrailways.ch where you indeed can buy three tickets in one transaction.

Thanx for the info. Maybe that might be the way to go.
