I'd call and ask the agent for a transfer to Customer service, let them deal with it. Not a regular agent.

I'm not even sure if Amtrak bothers to participate in the BBB, so there is probably very little that the BBB can do. Even if Amtrak participated, the BBB is still very limited in what they can do.
