Anyone ever let a ticket expire accidentally?

Recently, I found an old ticket in some things I was going through. It was issued in Aril, 2008 so it has been more than a year since issue. Ido feel a little better that it was only worth around $10. Live and learn...

That reminds me - I've got an unused $60+ ticket from March I have to find!

Looks like someone just got a new bookmark :lol: . at least it wasn't to expensive.

Is it possible to get a refund on those tickets??

For up to a year after the date of issue, you can get a refund or exchange them for a voucher. After a year from the date of issue, you're SOL!

I had a ticket for a Shuttle from New Haven to Hartford that I never used. Didn't have to do another trip til it expired. Oops.

I've had a couple. They've usually been tix that weren't pulled like when the Surfliner is three hours late coming home at night. They end up on my mess of a desk and aren't seen again. Only about $7, so not too much of a loss (well, and the points)

A $7 loss is not bad, but that $7 ticket is worth 100 AGR points!

After my first Amtrak trip, back in Fall '97, I was anxious to take the train again. I bought a roundtrip ticket from KCY to KWD for a Family gathering at Christmas '97... but plans changed and I didn't get to use it. At the time, I was under the impression that the ticket was worthless after the train departed, so it expired without being exchanged for another future ride.

Yeah, a fairly big point loss - and for a ride I really took!

I'm not used to actually having tickets since I pick them up at Quiktrak and use them immediately.

The few times they haven't been pulled I've thought that I'll just use them later,; sometimes I forget.

Though I have handed tix to staff as leaving the train on double point runs that they wouldn't have pulled.

Apparently I was:

A) Really Lucky

B) Had a great agent

C) Was Misinformed over Amtrak Policy

I brought my expired ticket to the station and was able to apply it toward a future trip. The agent said the year limit was for refunds only and said that there was a theoretical limit for exchanges too, but he didn't know what it was.

I found over $70 worth of tickets that were set to expire soon and about $80 of those NEC "sale fare" tickets that are non-refundable but exchangeable! Thanks for the reminder to look for them!

This calls for a trip soon - so I can use the value!

I just turned in $169.30 worth of unused and "non-refundable but exchangeable" tickets that I have found - thanks to this reminder! I used it for a round trip AE ticket, which will (almost) push me over the edge for Select! (I'll be 70 points short! :angry: )

This calls for another trip to nowhere!

Well Im sure that youll come up with something but knowing you it will probably be a day trip to BOS via CHI!!! :lol: Remember Double points expire Dec. 19th and the AGR Blackout starts the 14th so guess all of us better get busy with point runs unless youre lucky enough to Select +!!

Because I just need 70 points, it may just be a short ride to KIN-PVD one way (for 100 points ) and I'll take a city bus back to the station! Or I may "force myself" :lol: to take a round trip to BOS and get 200 points - doubled!
