    Why and how often are trains run completely backward?

    Sunday morning I rode the Northeast Regional from NYC to BAL. It was the 143, leaving NYP at 9:47 AM. As we left the station I was disappointed to see that we were riding backward. At first I thought it was just our car (business) but then they announced that the entire train was backward and...

    Will double points be applied if I registered today but traveled two days ago?

    Darn it - I did not see that there was a double points promotion going on. I am usually fanatical about registering for any discount I might POSSIBLY use. So I only saw the promotion just now and hit the button to register. Am I out of luck because I bought tickets Saturday and used them on...

    Would anyone like a ten percent off coupon?

    Someone generously gave me a 10% off coupon, and I'm not going to be able to use it. Expires Feb. 29th, 2016 (this month.) Just send a DM if you'd like it.

    Half a trip posting, but not the other half, to AGR?

    Before I make a phone call (and I don't mind doing that, but I won't bother the AGR people if the answer if someone here already knows the answer), is it typical for one leg of a trip to show up on your AGR transaction log but not the other? I'm trying to get the three round trips / get one...

    How fast does the NE Regional really go?

    I've read all the literature on what the top speed should be on the NE Regional and the Acela, and I'm not asking for a rehash of that. I'm asking if anyone knows the true figures of what happens in reality. The reason I ask is that I have a thing on my phone that records speed (someone may...

    Easy question - what does this mean? A ticket means a seat, right?

    I have seen this in the fine print in several places: "Seating is limited; seats may not be available on all trains at all times." I was under the impression that they do not sell more tickets than they have seats. I thought that making a reservation means purchasing a ticket ahead of time...

    Amtrak site login problems

    Sorry if I should not create a new topic for this. This is the most frustrating internet problem I've encountered, possibly, ever. I saw that one person in the other thread said they had a problem, but that they can log in now. I just spoke to Amtrak. First, they put me through to "internet...

    Is anyone else having trouble logging in to Amtrak or AGR?

    I can't log in to either site (and I know they're merging them so that if you log into one, you log into both.) Other accounts in my household can be logged into, but not mine. I called and spoke to a person yesterday who said they are working on the issue. But I think it's been at least five...

    Help me out here - understanding the many specials and deals

    I got an email about a three-day special: Today through the 29th, book travel on select Northeast Corridor trips for as low as $39 each way (for what I would be booking, BAL to NYP and back home, which happens to be one of the few eligible locations, and it's during the stated travel dates...

    Use points now or use them after January?

    I looked over the new program specifications, and also used the point earning and point redeeming estimator. It looks like the new system will benefit some (maybe not all.) I think it makes more sense than zone restrictions. Anyway, an example is that a one-way ticket from BAL to NYP or vice...

    New person here, and ready to talk about BOA reward points!

    Took me a few tries to get registered. There seemed to be some glitches. But never mind, I'm here now! Only joined Amtrak.com and Amtrak Guest Rewards a few weeks ago. I am impressed so far. Every time I call, I talk to a person and they are very helpful. They've even called me back twice...
