I have a trip next April and made reservations 2 days ago. It shows at my bank as pending. How long does it take for Amtrak to clear it? I assume I am charged immediately. Has anyone ever seen the fair go down prior to the trip?
Yes, and when that happens you just call back and request to be moved to the lower fare, specially in a no change fee regime like exists now, and usually they will do it, if the agent knows his rear end from his front end that is.I have a trip next April and made reservations 2 days ago.

I believe that is correct. However, on three LD trains in the past month, we were un-masked in our rooms and left the door/curtain open. No one said anything although we would have complied if something was said. YMMV. Mask on of course walking to the diner until we were seated.Followup: Looks like the public transportation mandate is currently extended to Jan. 18, 2022.
And I guess technically if you are supposed to wear your mask in your roomette or bedroom (or restroom/shower which I haven't seen addressed) how could that ever be monitored if you have your curtains closed? You can simply put your mask on if someone knocks on your door.
