During this period, a BahnCard 50 holder can take a second person with them in the same travel class and at the same discount. The return journey must be made by 28 February 2025 and must also be booked in the same booking step.
When booking, the BahnCard 50 holder adds a second traveller with a BahnCard 50 discount in the same travel class as the BahnCard holder. The second traveller receives the same discount as the BahnCard holder but does not need their own BahnCard 50.
