Hello! I created my account on swisspass.ch with my correct birthdate. When I sign in at SBB or RHB, both show my birthdate off by one day. SBB/RHB profiles say to make edits on swisspass.ch (but it is correct on swisspass). Anyone else have this issue? or know how to get corrected?
(Note: I did go ahead and purchase my Bernina express seat reservation on RHB since I could change my birthdate for the purchase. I have not purchased my swiss pass yet.)
Thanks, Kathy

I don't think it will be an issue. For a Swiss Travel Pass, you need to show a passport when the conductor checks your ticket/pass. They will only be concerned that the pass is in your name, and your are that person as shown by your passport. They are busy checking everybody's tickets and will not have time to delve into your date of birth. The name on the passport matches the pass and your passport photo looks like you. The only issue is if you bought a "youth" pass and were obviously older than 25.
I can see this happening as at the time you put in your birthdate, it was already the following day in Switzerland at that time. Depending on the computer system, it might automatically "correct" the date based on the time difference.

This is not going to be an issue. Small trivial mistakes are tolerated. Just like having one letter misspelled in your name won't invalidate your ticket either.
