The Amtrak refund policy will change on March 1, 2014
For all reserved Coach class and Acela Express Business class reservations, you must cancel your reservation at least 24 hours prior to the train's scheduled departure in order to be eligible for a full refund. If the reservation is canceled within 24 hours of the scheduled departure, a refund fee will apply (Value fare tickets only; Saver fare tickets are not refundable). If the reservation is not canceled prior to the scheduled departure ("no show"), the entire amount paid for the reservation will be forfeited (Value and Saver fare tickets); the ticket value will not be stored in an eVoucher and cannot be applied toward future travel. Flexible fare tickets will remain fully refundable.
The new policy will affect both existing reservations and all new reservations for travel beginning on or after March 1, 2014. The refund policy described below will be effective until the updated policy begins.
