How do I order Keuzedagen?

Here's how to order Keuzedagen. Which situation applies to you?

I have Dal Voordeel on balance

If you already have this season ticket, you can order Keuzedagen through NS Customer Service.

I don't have a season ticket yet

If you do not have NS season ticket yet, then you can order Keuzedagen directly online along with a new balance-based Dal Voordeel season ticket. This is how you do it:

  1. Go to the product page for Dal Voordeel.
  2. Select ‘on balance’ (Important: do not order an NS Flex season ticket).
  3. Click ‘Order now’.
  4. Under 'Extra options', tick the box for 'Keuzedagen'.
  5. Choose 1st or 2nd class.

Please note: after choosing a class, you can no longer permanently change it. However, you can change from 2nd to 1st class for a day at an NS ticket machine. It is not possible to switch from 1st to 2nd class.
Keuzedagen cannot be combined with an NS Flex season ticket.

  • I don't know which season ticket I have.

    If you don't know what season ticket you have, log in to Mijn NS. You'll find the name of your season ticket under 'My Products'.

  • I want my Keuzedagen on a single-use, paper OV-chipkaart

    Starting on 1 March 2022, NS stopped offering paper Keuzedagen (Optional Days). It is therefore no longer possible to order new Keuzedagen with your former Off-peak discount season ticket. if you already had paper Keuzedagen before 1 March 2022, then you can keep these and they will be extended automatically.
