Now this is not all that different from Radisson and other hotel cards that offer very limited redemption options for a product that we don't use much. But the point of the survey was to determine how to make the card better, and I did not see anything noteworthy for my usage.
The value of the companion ticket would be significantly more motivating for me if Amtrak would allow it to be used for the second person traveling in the sleeper space. I don't understand why it can;t be applied for this since that passenger only pays the lowest coach fare. We only travel LD and primarily book sleepers, so the current certificates are virtually worthless.
