I'm looking for the promo code that gives you 50% off. I've heard talk but knowone has said what the code is. I'm planning a trip to reno just for the ride. I just love to ride the train. Can anyone help me out?
The only promotion code that I am aware of for 50% off is only for employees of IcelandAir. You cannot book by internet and you must pick up your tickets in person with IcelandAir ID. As far as I know, the best code available to the public is H570 for 25% off.bigval109 said:I'm looking for the promo code that gives you 50% off.

I have tried putting that code in Amtrak's reservation system on the web and never have found a trip where it would work. Is it only for certain trains?PRR 60 said:The only promotion code that I am aware of for 50% off is only for employees of IcelandAir.

H570 can be used for any Amtrak service with the following restrictions:MrFSS said:I have tried putting that code in Amtrak's reservation system on the web and never have found a trip where it would work.

Ah - that's the problem Always try with sleeper accomidations.H570 can be used for any Amtrak service with the following restrictions:
You must use the full adult fare are the base fare. It will not stack with the AAA, NARP, or any other discount programs. So make sure you clear any discounts from your "Passenger" entry.
It will not work if you add any additional accommodation such as a sleeper or Acela First Class.
It also has some short holiday blackouts around Labor Day, Thanksgiving, etc.
However: there is no minimum advance purchase and the fare is refundable. I just tested it for an Acela trip tomorrow and a Coast Starlight trip on Tuesday and it worked fine.
PRR60 said what it was. It is only for employees of IcelandAir. If you worked for them, then you would have the details of the promo.bigval109 said:all I'm getting is that it is an icelandair code but know one has said what it is. does anyone know what it is?
Two slight corrections to the restrictions that PRR noted.PRR 60 said:H570 can be used for any Amtrak service with the following restrictions:

I've never seen that code work in conjunction with a sleeper and many other's have reported the same thing. I just tested it again, less than a minute ago for the LSL, and got this error:wannacruise said:You CAN use H570 when booking a Sleeper, however the discount only reduces the Rail fare.
Problem With Promotion Code: The Promotion Code you provided is not available for the train, date or accommodation you selected, so we have provided a non-promotional fare. You may proceed with booking this fare, or you may consult your promotional materials and use the 'Modify Selection' button to select a valid train, date or accommodation. Then please resubmit.
That's the error code I kept getting.AlanB said:I've never seen that code work in conjunction with a sleeper and many other's have reported the same thing.

i don't understand why know one will say what the 50% code is. I have tried the H570 code and it worked fine for me.

No one will say what the code is since you can't use the code, unless you work for Iceland Airlines. If you do work for them, then you can get the code from your personel office.bigval109 said:i don't understand why know one will say what the 50% code is.

Well I give up. The iceland air code would have been nice for my long train ride. But the 25% off code will work just fine for me. I really wanted a sleeper for the ride home. Thanks anyway.AlanB said:No one will say what the code is since you can't use the code, unless you work for Iceland Airlines.

But there is no point in posting a code that 99.9% of our members can't use. It just confuses people and creates problems for our members.
I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't know how to be more clear about this.Bigval109 said:Well I give up. The iceland air code would have been nice for my long train ride.

The original conversation on this useless code is over on FlyerTalk. Last I checked, the code was still posted there; of course, unless you have that Iceland Air ID, it won't do you a lot of good.Bigval109 said:Well I give up.

Let me try this another way.
Do you work for Iceland Air?
If you do, do you have a photo ID card issued by Iceland Air?
If you cannot answer yes to both of those questions, then you will not be able to use the discount code. We are not trying to be mean, we are not trying to prevent you from getting a discount, we are not trying to evaluate the moral implications of whether someone should use a discount code that they aren't entitled to use.
The bottom line is that with this code, unlike most codes that Amtrak gives out, you must show up in person at a manned ticket window with the photo ID from Iceland Air in order to pickup any tickets booked using the code. If you don't have the proper ID, they will cancel the reservation and you won't be able to board the train. There is no way to circumvent the requirement of a photo ID issued by Iceland Air in order to collect the tickets booked with the code.
maybe, maybe not I think I found somethingLet me try this another way.
