At first like some others in US I thought I did need a personal ID number from Sweden. However, I reached out in the app chat and she was able to set me up with an account and emailed me a link to finish account creation. If you make your first booking on the website and click the button to remember or save the card you are using, you can also make purchases in the app as an American. I was also able to click the button to add a 2nd payment card later. I was not so lucky with the Volvo On Demand app.😢

Compared to Norwegian Rail, more like Amtrak...

Norwegian Rail from Oslo to Bergen and back was excellent. Clean windows; the entire train was spotless and on time. Swedish Rail from Oslo to Stockholm was completely different. Engine trouble halfway, windows filthy (it looked as though we were locked in a heavy fog, yet it was clear. A few days later from Stockholm to Copenhagen was far worse. Keep in mind, all of our travel was “1st Class”. Windows filthy, very little accommodation for large suitcases, all of which would be fine if the train ran on time. A signal issue occurred at the halfway point, resulting in a three-hour delay, turning a five and one half hour trip into nearly nine hours. They announced, as we approached Malmo (just before crossing into Denmark, that Malmo would be the end of the line, requiring everyone to disembark to take a commuter rail train into Copenhagen. After everyone was lined up with all baggage retrieved from overheads and other storage areas, the order was countermanded. It resulted in all luggage semi-returned to storage, with aisles clogged with baggage. The train came into Copenhagen, after another forty-five minutes, at a remote track which was NOT in the main terminal, raining on the open track and platform area with the entire passenger group fleeing toward one five-passenger elevator to get to street level. Another quarter-mile hike was then required to get to a cab line in front of the main terminal. It made Amtrak look like the Japanese Bullet Train. It was truly Third World. Never again.

SJ have done a great job with this app. Booking and paying are a breeze. Travel mode is also very well done - it tells you how much time is left before having to board or get off. I love Swedish trains and this app just makes the whole experience that much better.

Impossible to pay

So the app works great, except for two critical flaws. The first is that it doesn’t let you use a foreign phone number. Why have this in the US App Store if you can’t have foreign phone numbers? The second flaw is that I can’t pay for a ticket. I’ve tried 4 US-issued credit cards and one Swedish-issued card. None worked. And for the US cards, my credit card companies said they didn’t even get the payment request so it wasn’t a matter of the cards getting declined. The SJ system didn’t even make the payment request. The other option is to use Swish to pay. Since you need a Swedish bank account, that’s not a viable payment option for most people outside Sweden. Would love to use the app if I could actually buy a ticket with it 😊
