Need coupon for H860 discount

The best rate for a ticket I just purchased over the telephone was H860. The agent who processed my order did not say I would need a paper coupon when I picked up my tickets; however, when I spoke with someone else later (different issue--getting our membership #'s straightened out), she said I would need one.

I had already ordered the Amtrak America guide because I read on here that the guide contains the H863 coupon. Can anyone tell me if that guide also has the H860 coupon, or where I can obtain one?

Thank you!

quicktrak

Quiktrak machines have no way of asking for a code. So if your station has one pick up your tickets early from the machine.

Good idea, except I have to go to the counter because I am paying with a gift certificate.

Philadelphia-DC-Philadelphia daily

Hello forum,

I live in down-town Philladelphia and I plan to travel to DC for work twice a week.

I'll take the Northeast Regional from 30th Street to Union station and back. I will be doing this twice a week for the next few years.

Currently I see that I can get roud-trip tickets @ 70$ or so.

Since my day's will be fixed (Tuesday and Thursday) is there any way that I can travel more economically?

thank you for your answer in advance.

Leaving Jan 4th 2012

I am trying to find discounts for 353 (Wolverine) to Chicago and/or 448 (Lake Shore Limited) for Jan 4th 2012. Start Point Kalamazoo, MI, Ending point Syracuse, NY. I am looking to buy this ticket in the next day or so. So, if anyone can help me with a promotion code for this trip (solo ticket) I'd appreciate it.

Hmm... I have a reservation made on the telephone using code H860, which I have not taken yet. The reservation needed to be made before 12/15 or the travel was supposed to be completed by then?

I would call Amtrak and ask about "bereavement" discounted rates. They apply to ill family members not just deceased AFAICR. Good luck.
