Replying to WAS - NYP $49 fare fully refundable?

How does one tell the web site for a refundable fare?

Not possible to the best of my knowledge. But any ticket booked through the standard web reservation page (vs. the weekly specials) is, in practice, refundable before the tickets are printed.

Actually...if you request one of the standing discounts—AAA, NARP, Senior, Military, etc.—you might get a refundable fare almost every time. These discounts are typically not combinable with special, non-refundable fares. Not a 100% sure bet, but this is the closest you might get to ensuring a refundable fare without reserving over the phone.

Keep in mind there's still a refund fee for printed tickets.

Does it say anywhere that it's non refundable?

After you put the reservation in your cart, inside the "Your Itinerary" box there is a link for Terms and Conditions. The fourth bullet down is "Non-refundable after ticket has been purchased."

Everyone above is correct. Unprinted tickets of this type are fully refundable in practice. Printed tickets assume the stated rules: non-refundable. E-tickets, once we get them, might shake things up a bit.

Based on first hand experience, my fare was FULLY REFUNDABLE. I made a $49 WAS>NYP reservation via the Amtrak website on 3/8 for travel on 3/29. I canceled the reservation today and received a full refund to my credit card. BYW, I also made a return trip $49 reservation for travel on 4/3 and when I canceled the reservation today the fare was fully refunded.

No first-hand experience, but I hear that, in practice, cancellations of the 14 day AP fare get full refunds as long as the tickets have not been printed. Once printed, only vouchers are available.

With all due respect to the_traveler, I actually think it's non-refundable, i.e. it can only be exchanged for other rail travel. Check the terms at the bottom of this page, specifically the fifth item.

I believe it is fully refundable!

The subject line says it all. Is the Washington to new York $49 14 day advance purchase fare fully refundable? Or do you just get back a voucher to use on another trip? Thanks.
