Thanks. When I tried creating the booking with two passengers and the companion coupon the pricing was the same as for two passengers without the coupon. This is my first use of a companion coupon. Does the price revert to the single passenger price when you make the purchase. Or is this not...

Is online booking using a companion coupon possible? I talked with an online agent who recommended I create the booking for one person, and said the 2nd traveler would also be recognized. But, I've created the booking both on amtrak.com and the app (without hitting the "Purchase" button) and I...

My Select card (also electronic) has a "valid through" fate of 02/27/2025 as well. TQPs earned on the credit card seem to hit my account a few days after the monthly statement is issued but always in monthly buckets. The TQPs earned from train travel (not ticket purchases) seem to be credited a...

You guys are amazing. Thanks for all of the information and opinion. I'll let you know what I purchase and how it has worked out following our trip to Chicago and back in two weekends.

My wife and I are taking an Amtrak summer vacation from Indianapolis to Chicago to California via the CZ with a return via SWC. While in California we'll be on the San Joaquins and the Pacific Surfliner. We're pretty excited as neither of us has really been across the heart of the country by...

Hello from Indianapolis. Last November my wife and I took the Cardinal from Indianapolis to Washington, D.C., then the Capitol Limited to Chicago, and the Cardinal back to Indianapolis. We had a great time and now have several more trips planned for the summer. I appreciate the posts of the...
