So I was reading this thing with rules for interrail tickets usage and came across this sentence:
If the benefit only entails a discount in price, this does not require use of a travel day. Therefore, you can travel using the discount - even if all your travel days have been used up - provided it takes place within the overall validity period of your Pass.
What exactly does this mean? If the interrail ticket only provides me a certain discount and not a completely free trip, it doesn't add on to the travelling days? Is this correct? If so it would be a great way of using the 10 day trip in 22 travelling days.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'll try to explain:
The InterRail ticket includes 10 travel days in your case. On these dates, you can travel freely from 0000-2359 with all railways included (as well as with some ferries and busses). In case you need an extra reservation for any of these trips, this has nothing to do with the above rule.
However, there are some railway lines (smaller private lines mostly) and ferries which only grant a certain discount. In case you use one of these you do not have to mark a travel day on your pass. If you use any other transportation which is fully included in the pass on that day you have to use a travel day!
I dont see someone making excessive use of the above rule and saving on travel days since there are not many possible railways where you could use it.
