          I have found a loophole for buying Trenitalia tickets on their website!

          Jump to last reply Flag this topic

          After weeks of reading about issues getting credit cards to go through on Trenitalia's website messing around all day myself trying to purchase tickets, calling my bank a few times, trying to purchase again, risking getting locked out of my account.... I finally found a good solution!
          Paypal offers a Virtual Credit Card feature that is free to its users. It's called "PayPal Plug-IN"
          and gives the user the option of having a single use credit card number with a limit of $1000 or you can have a credit card number for use on one single website over the course of several transactions.
          This Plug-In works on either PC or Mac; I believe the PC version you have to download but the Mac version you use straight off your web browser.

          I believe this is the correct link:
          https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_vdc-plugin-intro

          Just saved myself $15 on train tickets since I could get the Amica fare in advance!
          Hope this helps others!!!
