If I book a Eurostar ticket through SNCB, how can I attach my Eurostar Frequent Traveller details to the booking?
When looking to book a Eurostar ticket, I discovered that it was cheaper (for this one journey - no promises in general!) to book it via the SNCB English website rather than via Eurostar themselves. So, having double checked the numbers (including credit card fees, also lower with SNCB), I opted to book my ticket on the SNCB website.
However, at no point in the booking process did I spot anywhere to enter my Eurostar Frequent Traveller details. Now I've booked, I can't see how to change it on the SNCB site. If I go to the Eurostar site and do Manage My Booking, it shows the details of the trip, but doesn't let me change anything, so I can't therefore enter my Eurostar Frequent Traveller details there.
The worst case is that after the trip, I can log into the Eurostar website, and do a missing points claim with the ticket details. However, that's a bit of a faff, and I need to remember to do it, no sooner than 1 day after the trip ends, and no later than 3 months. Given that, I'd rather enter the details now while I'm thinking of it!
So, is it possible to attach Eurostar Frequent Traveller details to a booking made via SNCB, or is my only option the missing points claim later (assuming I remember....)
Best Answer
Contrary to your statement, you can add the number during the booking process. When you book from SNCB you can tick Loyalty cards.
In the second step you can then add the Eurostar Frequent Traveller number:
I know this doesn't help you anymore since you already booked it, but this is how you can add your frequent traveller number.

The actual ticket number is on your boarding pass. On mobile tickets, you'll find the number under the six-letter booking reference (PNR).

Bookings made with e-vouchers must be made by the person named on the e-voucher (i.e. by the person and with the email address used for the original booking). You may make a booking for someone else but you may not transfer your e-voucher to someone else.Do Eurostar check names on tickets?
