Also, try the promos/specials page of Amtrak's website.
Or the 6x per year Amtrak "Arrive" magazine which is distributed on Amtrak Northeast trains (and possibly other trains?)
In addition, occasionally I have seen codes in AAA mailings that I receive as a member. Nothing good from them lately.

There is a double-point promotion for Acela and/or Metroliner travel between 09/12/05 and 12/31/05. Registration is required. It appears the double/triple point promo is happening very frequently, ie. like almost year round. Whenever one ends, another one is offered.

H459 code
Can we use H459 code for two Amtrak tickets although we are not high school students? Do they check after we get the tickets?
Thanks!

"One-Way Low Season Special Fare - No Stopovers, Valid Photo ID Required/Qualf (or Compn for the "free" ticket)
No Travel 27May thru 5Sep, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28Nov, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30, 31Dec05, 1, 2Jan06
Discount/Rfnd Fee May Apply, No Rfnd After 1st Tvl/Blkouts Aply"
Quite honestly, if you abide by the blackout dates above, no conductor will ever question you about your use of the discount code, since no mention of it appears on the ticket itself.
However, ticket agents at staffed stations will likely question you (after looking up the discount code in their reservations computer) if you pick up the tickets in person. You can avoid the ticket agent if you reserve online and pick up your tickets at the blue Quik-Trak machine or have them mailed to you.
Hope this helps!

Welcome to FT, gloabal_navigator!
BTW, a AAA discount also gives you a 10% discount.
