To earn points for purchasing train tickets, you must indicate your card number when making your purchase on any channel (station ticket offices, Renfe App, multiproduct self-service machines, Renfe website, telephone ticket sales service "Renfe Contigo" at 91 232 03 20 and authorised travel distributors and travel agencies). Your points will be automatically added when you make your trip.
Remember that points are only earned for trips made by the Tarjeta Más Renfe cardholder. Therefore, if you buy several tickets to travel on the same train, you will only get points for one of them.
For any incident related with this process, you can contact the Más Renfe Programme Services Centre by phone at 919 191 566 or e-mail at: masrenfe@renfe.es.
Renfe Points are just one payment method admitted by Renfe to purchase tickets and, therefore, can be used in any ticket sales channel (station ticket offices, Renfe App, multiproduct self-service machines, Renfe website, telephone ticket sales service "Renfe Contigo" at 91 232 03 20 and authorised travel distributors and travel agencies).
You need only indicate the point payment option when paying for the ticket.
When purchasing a ticket with points, your balance must be the same or higher than the ticket price, since mixed payments (a part in euros and another in points) are not admitted.
Tickets can be purchased on the Renfe website. The purchase is made in the normal way up to the moment of paying for the ticket, when a "Select payment method" pull-down box will appear with the "purchase with points" option.
When you wish to redeem your points in any of the companies that collaborate with the programme, you must make the request through the "My points section of the "Más Renfe" Private Area in www.renfe.com or the Más Renfe Programme Services Centre by phone at 919 191 566. This depends on the type of services you are requesting, since some collaborating companies manage their services directly and others through the Más Renfe Programme. You can find this information in the specific section for each partner company.
For all problems relating to incidents when purchasing tickets on the Internet, both for normal purchases and purchases using points, please contact the Online Sales help staff on telephone 91 919 05 04.
