Help buying Europe train tickets with US credit card
It may have been posted somewhere but I failed to find the info.
I need to buy some train tickets in Europe from USA. I need 3 segments on 3 different dates Zurich-Paris, Paris-Lucerne, Lucerne-Zurich
I tried 'http://en.voyages-sncf.com' but it fails to charge my credit card (choosing my pickup country as antarctic).
I then tried raileurope.com and there are 2 problems:
1. The prices are about 25% higher than sncf
2. It doesn't show me all the trains, so I can't get the trains I want
Can anyone help me figure out what to do in this case?

Have a look at the If SNCF keeps rejecting your cc on-line... try this thread from last week, the answer you need is in there!

That's exactly where I found my answer.
