I've been taking a trip or two each week between Elizabethtown and Harrisburg, Pa during the Double Days promotion. Minimum points is 100, so a roundtrip is 400 points. It's $6.50 each way and with a Senior Discount it comes to $11 round trip, pretty close to what you would pay to buy points.
Trying inexpensive one stop trips from Philly to Paoli is the same. North and South of Philly and any point from New York,Baltimore and Washington is quite a bit more. For example. if I wanted to go to Alexandria from DC a one way trip costs $16. Does anybody know the lowest price between any two Amtrak stations? Even Milwaukee to the Airport costs $7.50. Just curious.
