About Amtrak

Amtrak has been the country's passenger rail service since 1971, moving more than 12 million riders a year across 500+ stops in 46 states. What sets it apart is the mix of long scenic routes and fast city-to-city corridors under one ticket.

For help with a booking, refund, or accessibility request, call 1-800-872-7245 any time, day or night. Lost items, refunds, and accessibility requests each have their own form on the Amtrak contact us page, which routes you to the right team faster. Booking for 15 or more people? The group sales team handles custom quotes at [email protected].

What are Amtrak's refund and price-drop rules

Refund flexibility comes down to which fare type you book. Amtrak also doesn't refund the difference when prices drop after you book, but there's a workaround for anyone who picked the right fare.

How refunds break down by fare:

  • Saver: Refundable to travel credit (eVoucher) within 24 hours of booking. After that window closes, you're stuck with the ticket

  • Value: No fee for cancelling at least 24 hours before departure, and you get money back on the original payment. Cancel inside that window, and Amtrak takes a 25% fee

  • Flexible: Full refund to your original payment, anytime before departure

  • Acela First and Business: Full refund up to 24 hours before departure, with a 25% fee after that

When the price drops after you book, you'd have to cancel and rebook at the lower rate yourself. That math only works while holding a Value or Flexible fare. Saver fares lock you in, and the 25% fee on Acela usually eats the savings.

Here's a small habit that pays off. Check your route in Fare Finder a few days after booking. This is most helpful after booking more than a couple of weeks ahead. Mid-week fares often drop closer to departure. Catch a lower price on a Flexible booking, and it's basically free money back.

Frequently asked questions about Amtrak

Smart ways to save with Amtrak rewards points

The fastest way to save is to become an Amtrak Guest Rewards member. The free loyalty program turns every trip into points. Worth signing up for anyone who rides more than twice a year.

How you earn points:

  • Double points per $1 on base travel

  • 25% bonus in Business Class, 50% bonus in Acela First

  • Extra points through partners like Uber, Hertz, and Hilton

For casual riders, the no-fee Amtrak Guest Rewards Mastercard does the job. You'll earn 2x points on Amtrak purchases and dining. You'll also get a 10% rebate on onboard food. Plus, you can earn a sign-up bonus of 12,000 to 15,000 points after spending $1,000 in the first three months. No annual fee means your rewards stay yours.

Riding three or more times a year? The $99 Preferred Mastercard becomes the smarter pick. Amtrak gives you a free ticket for a friend, a free Business Class upgrade, and faster point earning. It also gives you a shortcut to elite status. For every $5,000 you spend on everyday things like groceries, gas, or Amazon, you earn 1,000 Tier Qualifying Points. These points usually only come from buying tickets and riding the train.

How do I use an Amtrak promo code

You can apply one promo code per booking. But they do stack with passenger-type discounts like military and kids' fares. Plus, it works alongside Guest Rewards points, including on Points + Cash bookings as long as the code is eligible.

On desktop:

  1. Enter your route and dates in Fare Finder.

  2. Click on the "Travelers" drop-down link and pick your passenger type (adult, senior, youth, child, or infant).

  3. In the same drop-down link, here you'll find the "Promo code" textbox.

  4. Paste your code and search fares.

In the Amtrak app:

  1. Once you have done the "Book" process, scroll down to view the "Coupon/Discount Code" textbox.

  2. Enter the code and "Apply" to unlock your savings.

If a code fails, it's usually a restriction on the route, travel date, or class of service. The quickest fix is to switch to a Saver or Value fare on the same route and try again, since most codes target standard fares rather than premium ones.
