Rail Europe: Discounted high speed TGV extended

UPDATE: Six weeks ago we let our readers know about a sale on summer rail tickets, “Rail Europe: Up to 50% off, even high speed TGV.” For those of you still planning a trip to the Continent, please know that this promotion has been extended until the end of this month.
The Rail Europe special is aimed at people who will be traveling long term, or twice within a year. It even includes travel on the new high speed French TGV trains.

Deals: Buy a rail pass now and get 25% credit towards another Rail Europe purchase later in 2007. The second ticket must be at least double the credit, which means you could save up to 50% on train travel. There are lots of different options and types of rail passes depending on your style of travel and how long you will be gone. If you’re trying to get more bang for your buck, get out a calculator and see if this deal fits in with your plans.

When: Buy a railpass before May 31, 2007 by June 30th, 2007 for travel up to six months later.

Sample passes:
Eurorail Global Pass Youth
Prices range from $427 (15 day pass) – $1,198 (3 months)
New 200 mph TGV train
Premier First Class Paris to Marseille is $218 each-way
