How to use your e-voucher

Simply go to eurostar.com and find the tickets you’d like to book. Then, when you get to the Checkout page, enter your 9 or 16 digit e-voucher code and click 'apply'.

Your e-voucher code can be found on the e-voucher email we sent you. (Search your emails for 'Eurostar e-voucher'. Don't forget to check your spam folder if you can't find the email.)

Having issues? Here are some tips:

• If you have an 8 digit e-voucher code, please add a 0 at the beginning of the number when entering it at checkout.
• You can use multiple e-vouchers towards a new train only booking.
• Only 1 e-voucher can be redeemed against Hotel or Train + Hotel bookings.
• If the value of your new booking is greater than the value of your e-voucher, you will need to pay the difference.
• Any name can go on your new booking, but the booking must be made by the person named on the e-voucher.
• The currency of your booking needs to be the same as the currency of your e-voucher.
• The expiry date of your e-voucher is the deadline for redeeming it. But you can use your e-voucher to pay for a trip taking place after this date.
• After booking, any remaining value will stay on the e-voucher to be used before its expiry date (this cannot be refunded). You will receive an email to confirm the remaining balance.
• It's not possible to use an e-voucher towards the cost of an exchange or upgrade
