Rail Passengers Association Discount Fare?

[dlagrua]

Tried purchasing the RPA fare on a trip online today. Provided my RPA membership number and the agent asked for a "discount code" . I could not find this on the RPA site on my membership card or anywhere else. Does anyone know how you take advantage of that discount?

Although RPA is listed, I don't see a discount code for that. The RPA "discount" is the same 10% as the Senior discount, etc. If you qualify for Senior (65+) no code is needed and would be easier to obtain.

I’ve never heard of a discount code. usually just enter the 6-didget member ID. Every time I’ve called to book with it, I’ve noticed agents on the phone seem to have a hard time with it.

I suspect the code is 'let me talk to your supervisor'.

The agent that I spoke with was very polite but had no idea how to apply the RPA discount without a code. Judging from the replies above, there is no discount code. This problem may be better taken up with the RPA who made the arrangement with Amtrak. I will contact them. I qualify as a senior but my wife who is 17 years younger does not.
Update: sent a couple of emails to RPA on Sat. No reply so far.
