    Buy Points and get Bonus Points

    I believe you are correct. We just purchased tickets for a 10 train trip next September. All the points paid trains are on one reservation and cash paid on a second.

    Upgrade/Companion/Lounge Coupons: seeking, available, questions

    I think I saw part of my question answered but not sure so....To figure the price of a roomette when using a companion coupon I would get the price for a roomette for 2 and then deduct the coach class cost for 1 from it? If yes, does anyone know which coach class price gets deducted? They are...

    Upgrade/Companion/Lounge Coupons: seeking, available, questions

    This past September we attempted to use 2 upgrade coupons on the Acela. The agent said that we had used 2 10% off coupons and therefore we could not use the upgrade coupons. I asked if he could back out the 10% off coupons and charge us the difference. He said he could not unlike the agent that...

    Upgrade/Companion/Lounge Coupons: seeking, available, questions

    They are treating the travel by dates as purchase travel by dates. Hopefully there are some low buckets by or before 1/15/24.

    Upgrade/Companion/Lounge Coupons: seeking, available, questions

    We have 4 companion coupons that must be used by 1/19 and 2/10/24. We are not travelling until September so we need to wait until we get the companion round trip coupon from FNBO in March. If anyone needs any of these, let me know.

    Why and how often are trains run completely backward?

    We were on the Acela this past Saturday. We stopped less than a mile from the platform in Washington. There was a problem with the lead engine. The train was going to be limited to 75 mph. By the time we reached Philly we were about an hour and a half late and falling even more behind schedule...

    Crescent discussion

    What is early in the morning. We were on it this past Thursday and Friday. Left at 0955. We had to eat all our meals in our roomette, that sucked. Not much scenery and no mingling with other passengers.

    Modifying/canceling a reservation

    Check stops beyond Chicago on the SWC for a roomette. You may be able to spend 8 to 10 hours in coach and then switch to a roomette.

    Email/Text Notification of Ticket scanning?

    You are absolutely right about past experience, only our third year. Did they have the call back feature in those past years and did it work? It has worked all three years for us.

    Email/Text Notification of Ticket scanning?

    I called APGR and was told these emails are a relic from B4 etickets and IT has not bothered to correct the issue. He also put me on hold and verified what RPA said about no longer cancelling subsequent legs of a reservation if a leg does not get scanned. He said they would send an email saying...

    California Zephyr discussion

    I know the 531 car is the base sleeper on the CZ, The las few times I've watched the VRF Big 10 camera it appears there are 3 sleepers. We will be on it a month from today. Can anyone tell me where the 531 car is in the mix of the sleepers or does it get moved around?

    Email/Text Notification of Ticket scanning?

    The Mariners tickets are 4 half season tickets. If one, two or all four seats are not used for one game, that does not mean any seats for any other games are cancelled. So if for some reason we have a late problem and have to be driven to South Station instead of taking the Downeaster and we do...

    Email/Text Notification of Ticket scanning?

    I still have a problem understanding the theory behind this. If I buy tickets to 18 Maine Mariners games and don't go to one, they don't cancel my tickets for the rest of that season. I bought those seats, If I buy tickets on 10 trains each September have I not bought and paid for those seats...

    Best and worst of Amtrak staff on our recent trip

    So if they don't scan my ticket on the LSL our tickets for the next 3 weeks are all cancelled? Do I get a refund? If no, why do they cancel? I know it frees up inventory but we paid for all of these trains almost 9 months ago. I will be tracking down the conductor on every train from here on out...
