Reward Ticket Cancellations & Modifications

The following applies to tickets redeemed using Amtrak Guest Rewards points:

One-Way, Round-Trip, or Multi-Segment Reward Travel

  • Cancellations: A 10% points penalty is assessed for any refund (redeposit) to the Member account. If canceling a non-sleeper ticket within 24 hours prior to departure, or a sleeper ticket within 14 days prior to departure, an additional "close-in" penalty of 10% of the points redeemed will be collected (waived for Select Executive members).
  • Modifications: A points difference (to new, prevailing fare) will apply in all cases with a 10% points penalty withheld on any fare difference returned to member. If modifying a non-sleeper ticket within 24 hours prior to departure, or a sleeper ticket within 14 days prior to departure, an additional "close-in" penalty of 10% of the points redeemed will be collected (waived for Select Executive members).

Hello pennyk,

Would you be able to post the link where you found this information on the Amtrak Guest Rewards website?

I had looked at this page:

https://www.amtrakguestrewards.com/info/terms

and the word "penalty" in section E, paragraph 2, contains a dead link from 2016

Thank you for your help

I am slowly coming to the conclusion that if I am not gunning for AGR status, there is really no reason to have an AGR account at all. I can almost always get a better deal with my Chase Sapphire Reserve Card, and associated travel agent.
