Pre-booking discount SNCF fares without discount card
On the SNCF website, discount train fares can be booked without a discount card (e.g., the Carte Jeune). Is it possible to pre-book those fares and then purchase a card at a later time, before the trip, or is it required that the card have been purchased first?
Best Answer
You can, as long as you keep in mind jcaron's comment, that is buy a ticket for a kind of card that is sold atm.
But you can also buy right now a card with a starting date in the future, which could be the best option.
