My family is traveling to Switzerland in two groups and we want to buy Swiss Half Fare cards at the rail stations.
What time does the ticket counter for these passes open at the Zurich Airport station on July 2?
What time does the ticket counter for these passes open at the Basel station on July 3.
Can we use American style credit cards (ones without a smart chip) to purchase these passes?

Hello dahawk7843. Opening hours can be found at the SBB website. Just enter the railway station you're looking for at the right side of the page. In most cases credit cards can be used, but I'm not quite sure about the type you describe; you can best contact the SBB to find out.
