Amtrak to trim one-way Acela fares by 25%

Looks like Amtrak is getting desperate for Acela riders. One interesting note:

"The sale-priced tickets are nonrefundable, are not eligible for upgrades to first-class accommodations, and must be used for travel between March 3 and June 26"

I was able to find $99 fares between NYP - WAS, something I have not seen on a weekday in a long time.

There is no way to tell online if you are buying a refundable ticket or not...at least as far as I can tell. Anyone know if there's a way? Does non-refundable mean I can use it for future travel?
