Recently, posts similar to those seeking to buy 12,306 railway points have appeared on multiple platforms. Some netizens posted that they have a need to go home every week and have purchased 12,306 points for a long time. The transaction process between the two parties is,The seller uses 12,306 points to help the buyer redeem the train ticket. The buyer will pay part of the ticket amount to the seller as agreed in advance. The current market price is 60% to 75% of the face value.
It is understood that after registering as a member of Railway 12306, you can get corresponding points when purchasing tickets and taking trains. For every 100 points, 1 yuan can be deducted when purchasing train tickets. When using points to redeem tickets, you can add 8 transferees, but the transferee information needs to be added 60 days in advance. It is generally used free of charge among relatives and friends.
The railway 12306 points are designed to improve user travel experience, enhance user stickiness, promote railway service upgrades, etc. Can they be transferred between individuals?
In this regard, railway 12306 customer service staff told the media that there is no way to transfer 12306 points, but there may be a situation where some people cannot use up their points, add others as transferees, use points to buy tickets for the transferee, and then charge some fees.
The railway department is currently unable to control this illegal operation because it cannot confirm whether the transferee is a relative or a stranger.
However, regarding the behavior of selling tickets based on points on the platform, some lawyers said that this is against the platform and legal regulations.
Buying tickets for profit for a long time may also constitute the crime of reselling tickets.It is recommended that ticket buyers not purchase train tickets through this method. In addition to breach of contract and information leakage, purchasing tickets through unofficial channels may even lead to the risk of being defrauded.
