Escape to beautiful Maine for a day or a weekend of quiet, relaxation, and charm. Or a day at the beach! Buy one adult full-fare ticket, get the second FREE.
Offer is valid on trains 681, 683, 686, 688, 691, 693, 696, and 698 ONLY
I'm thinking of taking my 87 Porsche up to the big PCA swap meet at Hershey, PA in April, and was doing a quick price check on the Amtrak website. I was just wondering if there is a promo code for it yet this year. Any help is appreciated.
Book today through April 22, 2012 and get 15% off train travel to Seattle, WA between February 9 and April 29, 2012. The promo code appears to be V379, though it is not required if you book through the link below.
Note that if you add business class, it disqualifies you from the discount. The code does work in both directions, but it appears it will only price on trains with the D fare available ($31 between SEA and PDX).
Valid for 15% off the regular (full) adult rail fare.
This offer is exclusively available at Amtrak.com, AmtrakCascades.com or via the link provided at SeattleArtMuseum.org.
Blackouts dates:
- February 17 and 20, 2012
- April 5 - 6 and 9, 2012
Advance reservations are required a minimum of three (3) days prior to travel.
Valid for travel on the following trains: Empire Builder (cities in Montana, Idaho, and Washington only), Amtrak Cascades, and Coast Starlight.
Valid for travel to Seattle, Washington and return only.
Once travel has begun, no changes to the itinerary are permitted.
As early as it is for booking 2013 train travel, is there any way to get the 2013 Amtrak cruise discount codes to book for next April and next August (2013) as soon as those tickets open up in the coming months?

Anyone know if the PCC stores still have this coupon available? Colleague and I are planning to take Amtrak from Seattle to Vancouver, BC in April. If they are I'll ask a friend or a Flyertalker to pick one up for me. Or, if anyone knows of any other specials on this route, please post (just tried the discount in post #21, and it works from Seattle also). Thanks!

The only thing waiting does is increase you base rate. As seats sell out the price goes up in what is referred to as a bucket system. That is why you see the big difference between eastbound and westbound segments. Waiting before booking may negate any discount you receive for the trip.
In addition it usually makes the fares non-refundable.
So book now then look for a discount fare and compare
HI. Looking at a trip to BBY, the fare quotes 147 for 2 adults and 2 kids, but applying AAA rate increases fare to 186. Is the 147 "regular" fare not cancellable?

It is refundable as long as you have not ticketed your reservation (read: printed out your tickets). Once you have ticketed your reservation, you may only exchange for an Amtrak voucher (albeit at 100% of the face value, so no loss).

The AA fare is refundable but higher. The cheaper fare says non refundable after purchase, not ticketing. Do you still believe that the cheaper, non -AAA fare would be refunded if I cancelled later? See below:

... Non-refundable after ticket has been purchased.
When you make your reservation on Amtrak.com, you are purchasing a reservation, not a ticket.
Your ticket is not issued until you print your ticket out at a Quik-Trak kiosk or from a station agent; thus, you are not technically purchasing your ticket until your ticket is issued.
I'm fairly sure I have canceled NER 14-day APEX discount tickets with no penalty recently. (I book and change and cancel a lot of tickets, though, mostly on the Keystone Corridor, but I am not 100% sure if I've done the same on the NER.)
Does anyone based in SoCal know of any Amtrak promotions related to the Surfliner from San Diego to the Angels game (Anaheim)? Ive seen an LA to Anaheim promotion (which is hilarious given the team is THE Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

I haven't seen any specific Amtrak/Angels promotions, and the train service the Angels themselves have recently been promoting is the Metrolink Angels Express, although it only runs for weeknight games and only as far south as the Mission Viejo/Laguna Niguel station. (The Metrolink trains are easier to promote to the "casual" train rider/baseball fan because they're scheduled specifically around the start and finish times of the games, unlike the Surfliners.)
The code does work in both directions, but it appears it will only price on trains with the D fare available ($31 between SEA and PDX).
