Troubles buying Swiss Travel Pass

Anyone else have trouble buying on the SBB site? Visa will not go through. On this site, through Rail Europe, it wants to charge me an adult price for a 26 year old which is technically a youth.

Any advice.

You can buy it in Switzerland when you arrive if you keep having trouble.

While Eurail brand passes raised their Youth age qualifications this year to "under 28," the rule is still "under 26" for Swiss Travel Passes (as well as BritRail Passes). What counts is the traveler's age on the first day of pass validity.

Registering your credit card with the Verified By Visa or MasterCard Secure code should take care of the problem of SBB rejecting your card.

Buying a Eurail Pass is definitely not the answer.
