Hi All:
I'm an avid reader of this forum, but now turn to it for some help. I'm planning to take the Empire Builder out from Chicago to Columbus, WI on Friday, return Sunday. Problem is, I don't want to be on the train during a Cubs playoff game but won't know until Wednesday night if/when on Friday it will be played. My Sunday return is unaffected (considering just booking these tickets as two one way segments).
If I book now (trying to get the AAA discount), can I get the refund in cash if I cancel on Thursday once we know the result of the Cubs game? Will I get a voucher? The Amtrak refund webpage is very confusing. I can also just hold off until Wednesday night to book, but will lose the AAA rate and prices may go up. Since I don't often ride Amtrak, the voucher may not be of much use to me.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks!
Robert
