Thanks for your feedback, Ed ... and, yes, I already bought a Roomette for 595 USD (and thought that was the lowest fare), but then this alert came in and made me think there were even lower fares. Also, they are definately for the Sunset Limited route, so I guess they are just simply wrong...

Another question: I already booked a Roomette now (which, in my eyes, was in the lowest bucket). Yesterday, I got an Amsnag alert, checked (almost) immediately on amtrak.com, but wasnt able to find the fares ... I think there might be an error on the fares, but see for yourself (left fare is the...

Allright, thanks for you answer! Amsnag still works fine for me ...

Oh, I think Amsnag is a great tool :) BTW, if the fare for a Bedroom for 1 person drops, does it also mean its cheaper for 2 people?

Amsnag seems to be working again, also the Fare Watch is back online ... just one question: It doesnt seem to be possible to get fare alerts for fares of 2 People, right?

Hm, the backup Fare Watch doesnt work for me ... anyone else?

Wow, thats great to hear ... and Im quite thrilled that you people here are such a big help and answering all my questions! Thank you so much! I will - if I get a good fare for a Bedroom - call an agent then :)

Thanks for that perfect explanation, PaulM! Another question that came to my mind: If I book a Roomette and get an Amsnag alert for a Bedroom ... how long does it take until I get that 100% voucher that I could use for the rebooking of the Bedroom? If it takes longer, then the fare of the...

Strange, now I got an Amsnag alert via email ... but when I checked the fare like 6 hours later, it showed a different price ...

Yes, I checked my spam box, but nothing was in there ... also, Amsnag told me that no emails were sent. Hmm, isnt there an option to get emails?

Sorry for bumping this thread again, but I have another question: I noticed I didnt get any emails from Amsnag (entered a test-date some days ago), so I checked the website and clicked on "Check Fares Manually". Some fares did indeed change, but I didnt get an email (even though I registered...

Great, thanks for all your help! :)

Wow, just checked Amsnag, and yes, there it is! I completely overlooked this ... great! Does it work for you People like it should?

Yea, I already checked Amsnag, but dont I have to look up the fares myself like every day in order to find low fares? Or does it work like a "fare watch" that notifies me automatically (by email) when fares drop?

Ryan, thanks for being so extremely helpful! Now I slowly understand how all of this works ... how come you know how the new pricing system works? Do you work in the sales management? And is there some kind of "price alert" so I can get notified once the price gets cheaper? Thatd be great, but...

So, in other words, there isnt an "automatic system", Amtrak adjusts the prices as soon as they think they arent selling too many/few tickets? Oh, and another question regarding your explanation of the voucher: Would we be able then, to book a roomette, and - if prices for a Bedroom would...

Hey, thats great to hear, thanks for your answer, Ryan! Hmm, but how come a "Superliner Roomette" now costs - for September 12th 2014, so a little less than 11 months in the future - as much as $1782? It almost seems like they are selling the most expensive first, and then go back to cheaper...

Hello folks! Im here because me and my wife plan to ride the Sunset Limited from Los Angeles to New Orleans in late September 2014 for the first time (we are from Europe) ... and I have some questions before Im going to book :) 1. I read a lot about the old pricing/fare system: If you book...
