Trouble paying with card on Trenitalia

Hi, I've been trying to purchase train tickets for my September trip for hours today. I get all the way through to payment and it will not allow me to enter my credit card info anywhere. It gives a red banner that says "any of the data is not confirmed".

I've tried both Firefox and Chrome browsers and both do the same thing. I deleted my history too.

Can anyone help??

The transaction may be blocked by your credit card company. Give them a call and a heads up on what you are trying to do.

Download the Trenitalia app on your phone and make your purchase through the app. I had no trouble with the app when I made multiple purchases last year.

Hi Mary, I just added the app and tried to purchase a ticket. It would allow it, but I need to purchase 2 separate tickets (because I have a 30% discount code and found I need to add it separately to each journey ticket) and don't see where I can add the 2nd ticket on the app. Am I missing something there too?

So, on my laptop I can add 2 separate journeys, but it won't allow me to pay. On my phone, it will allow me to pay, but not to add a 2nd journey.

Am I doomed???

  1. Have you created an account?

  2. Are you purchasing for two people on the same itinerary?

  3. If so, have you created a separate profile for each person? You should then be able to add each person to the itinerary, and then add the code.

markcw,

To answer your questions--
1. yes, I created an account
2. purchasing for only 1 person
3. N/A

An update--

I just did the Stresa-Florence trip on my phone app. It worked fine.

I lost the 30% discount for the Florence-Rome since the phone app only took 1 trip and I couldn't add the second trip.

I'll just wait to book the Florence-Rome trip when/if I get another discount. The cheapest fare I found on the Florence-Rome route was 19.90 Euros.

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Do you think I've made a mistake making this reservation? This is the website I used:

https://www.lefrecce.it

Regionale 10217

Stresa (07:51) - Milano Porta Garibaldi (09:21)

Frecciarossa 9311

Milano Porta Garibaldi (09:48) - Firenze S. M. Novella (11:50)

I had a really frustrating time trying to book tickets from FCO to Florence using my CartaFreccia. I was using Safari on my desktop iMac and the site kept telling me I had invalid sign-in. When I switched to my iPhone, I made the reservations easily and quickly. Trying to figure out any Italian system can be very confusing.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, it is really frustrating! I tried everything I could think of. I finally booked one trip on my phone and lost the 30% discount on the other trip because I couldn't figure out how to book both trips on my phone at the same time.

Hopefully, all goes well with the trip Stresa-Florence. And, I can find a discount to book the other trip, Florence-Rome.
