Just wanted to pass on the news that I just got our "paperless" tickets for our upcoming trip. As has been recommended here and other sites I got a Capital One Mastercard, alerted them last night that I would be making this purchase this morning and sure enough, it went through the first time without a problem! Mind you this is after nearly 10 tries with a VISA card issued by my credit union (where I had called security and all that.) The Trenitalia system does indeed have a preference right now for that particular brand of card. If you've not already registered with them I'd recommend that as a first step for getting tickets (or while you're waiting for the new credit card to arrive!) Thanks for all the help! One other odd thing - we have 4 legs of the trip - and they each appeared after the long sought after green "finalizing" statement as separate tickets. So, what I noticed first was only 1 leg and then had to scroll down further to see all of our tickets. Hope this helps the next person!
Thanks to the 'other' Lisa in White Plains for your feedback ~

Just thought I'd share that I just purchased tickets with Trenitalia for our Rome to Venice trip tonight with success on my first try ever!! I actually used my Visa-Debit card!! I called my bank about a week ago to let them know that I'll be in Europe March 20-29 and that I'll be making purchases! YEY! So excited!!
