That is what I guess I will be doing. But believe me I have followed all the protocols. And thanks for the nmber n France. It was frustrating to hear her say that she could do nothing to help me but tell me to buy the ticket at the station. Just regular tickets, not PREMS. Only card I have is Capital One and again they say that they have not put up any fraud blocks. They know I am using my card in France. And since they are not the ones blocking it there is nothing they can do.

Again, so sorry to hear that it didn't work. It's a very frustrating process. Being as stuborn as I am, I would try again tomorrow or the next day--who knows.

When are you leaving?

I would be concerned about not having a backup card when traveling.

Tues the 26th hopefully

June 26th??? That close, I'd buy the tickets there.

Well, if it's June 26th of THIS year, you're not going to gain any advantage booking online anyway, so just show up at the station with plenty of time to spare and buy on the spot. You've long since lost any discounted fare advantages. There aren't any PREMs left, so you have to pay full freight. You should have started this process 3 months ago.
