I haven't had the pleasure for an interesting or strange encounter yet on Amtrak though I've had friends and heard others that have. so far though I don't travel as much as I would like it's been a pleasant experience. Only thing I would say that was interesting on a train was outside of Penn...

Welcome nate to the forum

I was able to activate my card today on the 23rd, I tried calling the toll free number to activate it before hand but I was on hold for at least twenty minutes the two times I tried, so I gave up and waited for today.

I hope this doesn't become a long running issue, this card I don't mind using on a regular basis, and the points help out on getting away from daily life for a while even if it's a short trip down the Hudson.

Just received my new FNBO card the other day, has anyone else had issues setting the new card up? I went to the site that was in the letter and entered all correct information in, but the site is coming back saying the information cannot be verified.

On mine away from annual fees it says I'll get a replacement card and have to activate the new card, no mention of applying for a brand-new card. the only thing I'm unclear of is what happens in whole with the Bank of America card? will it be shut down? or will it be turned into a regular Bank...

oh wow, 99 bucks annually seems steep for me right now, though the rewards seem better. maybe in the next coming months I'll spring for the world Mastercard after getting into a better career.

The free card I went for, not sure if both types of cards are going to the same bank or what the case is.

On the first Page it says Amtrak Guest Rewards Mastercard members earn 2 points per $1 on Amtrak travel purchases, including onboard purchases, Earn @ points per $1 on dining purchases, Earn 1 point per $1 on all other qualifying purchases, Receive a 10% rebate on Amtrak onboard food and...

Just received mail today regarding the new card, looks like Amtrak is going with First National Bank of Omaha. don't know if this is a good or bad thing, I never had any experience with that bank before.

that doesnt sound to bad at all, i hope you guys have an amazing trip

I cant speak for anyone else but I hope ridership increase's. Amtrak to me isnt that bad of an option to getting somewhere or vacation purposes, and prices aren't that bad to begin with. With rising gas prices you could get a cheap ticket to your destination and rent a vehicle to run around town...
