Among the airlines, apart from frequent flyer programs having their individual fora, there are six fora for "all other" frequent flyer programs on geographical basis (India, Hawaii and four regions - Europe, Americas, East Asia/Pacific, West Asia/Africa).

There also is a section for "other" frequent travel programs. But this is confusing: it contains three specific fora (Amtrak, IDine and one other) - and then nothing else.

Surely there are plenty of other "frequent traveller" programs? Amtrak is not the only railway running theirs - Eurostar certainly has theirs, and I think there are others, then several ship/ferry lines have frequent traveller programs... Is there any obvious place to discuss them?

From my own experience, I'd first search (e.g. if it was for Eurail) to see if the issue had been discussed previously. In that case, old discussion could still be in the 'Europe' forum (before the new fora for Germany, Italy etc).

You might find it is in TravelBuzz if it is a question not as tied into a geographic area.

If you are seeking to organise specific, dispersed info on a particular program, you could ask for a forum. I wouldn't expect TB to approve new forums unless there is great TB support and a need demonstrated, plus a lot of FTers supporting it, plus some persuasive arguments to get it across the objectors/objections.

If it's something you think would interest a few FTers, you could start a thread that indexes the information, so that it is effectively a 'master thread' for that topic.
I did this after (unsuccessfully) asking for TB to implement a Duty Free forum.

If there is enough activity on that thread and there are great reasons and lots of support for a forum, you then have something to back up the argument that there is both a need and a benefit.

Without specifics, all this remains theoretical.
I would search, then look in the geographical forums, then TravelBuzz. I hope you find something useful.

I just did a search for threads with Eurail in the title and they are all over the place. I wanted to post a link but I don't think a search result link is going to work.

I think Budget Travel could be a good location for Eurail and other rail passes/loyalty programs. It's not really a FFP, is it?

For many of the questions already here, they relate to specific airline FFPs or travel in specific countries in the eurozone.

The cruises forum would have some cruise info but it's outside the focus of FT in most ways and most discussion is directed to the cruise forum equivalent of FT.
I doubt this forum would be approved as a new one today, if it didn't exist - unless there was a super fare that tons of FTers bought and used over a long period.

Some older, wiser FTers might be able to help you further. I wish you well.

Neither are hotel programs, credit card programs or car rental programs.

There is some demand for rail: see
