Adding some info. in case anyone searches this topic in the future: Seems Burlington, Vermont is out as I emailed Smuggler's Notch and they said: Unfortunately, Smugglers' does not provide transportation to or from Jeffersonville. The messaging you have included is a bit outdated, and at the...

On this topic, will the attendant give attitude if you ask them to make the bed but only have a few hours till your destination?

At the resort, you are right. But Airbnb's can be found in this range, i.e private room in some ones house.

I am thinking that might be a bit cumbersome to lug the skis inside and look for space. Particularly as the train may be full. I will be taking the train from Croton in NY which is a staffed station. If I check the ski bags, do I give it to the conductor or the station staff?

Yes, I saw that option. But I think the distance is ~10 miles? So Uber might get pricey. And not sure availability of Uber in that remote town.. Then finding accommodation in my price range might be another challenge..

Trying to plan a vacation using Amtrak and local bus only ( prefer not to rent a car or take uber for last mile ).. To make things more complicated, there also needs to be decent Airbnb selection at the towns, or alternative accommodation under $75/night. Did a lot of analysis and only found a...

What happened to business class on Lake Shore Limited from Albany -> Chicago? I took it around two years ago. But seems not an option anymore? Or am I searching incorrectly ?

Did it once on Lake Shore Limited and the conductor let me board the roomette early .. Maybe an hour early? Can't remember..

What's the best way to send them feedback about this? Will try the contact us on their website but not hopeful it will get much attention..

How about Montreal? Has service there suspended as can't find tickets.

Has the service been suspended? When I search from NYP to Rutland or Burlington I only get bus options from Albany?

Any guestimate on when service to Montreal will resume? Tried a few different dates in April and keep getting: This trip cannot be booked. We do not have any travel options between the stations entered. (Ref.VTJTOZPQ) Maybe I am doing something wrong in the search.., entering NYP -> MTR

Took the plunge and signed up for it today for my parents who are in Maryland with PepCo.. In a nutshell: 20,000 Amtrak Guest Rewards points after 2 months on this plan 2 points for every $1 spent on the supply portion of your electric bill Introductory electricity supply price for 3 months My...

Great, I finally got it to work. For 2 people together it works out to the same price as the lowest bucket saver fare. But if there is no more lowest bucker saver fare then you can get a good deal.. Now wondering if I can apply my 12-hour upgrade coupon to this reservation the day of travel ...

After making a dummy booking, I get presented with an offer for 20k points and $100 statement credit . I am guessing the annual fee still applies. Seems like a decent deal.

Still trying to understand why the companion certificate won't work if you are senior? Is it some IT glitch or intentional?

Any speculation on when the bonus will go back to 30k points? Not sure why they are offering a measly 20k points now. I don't think BofA ever offered such a low bonus? Or did they?

Seems Amtrak makes it as hard as possible for families to use these regional trains. First off, there is no priority boarding. The gates are announced last minute and there's a mad rush of people to board the trains. So chance of getting on first is minimal. Second problem is these trains seem...

Seems the bonus has been reduced to 20,000 points ?! I got the 30k bonus today for a family member and want to apply for other cards for the rest of the family. But the bonus is a measly 20k.. Hold my breath they will do the 50k promotion as in the past?? :-)

Seems now they are offering 20,000 points for switching to NRG. How easy is it to do? And how easy is it to cancel after some months. I am not worried about the boilerplate language about "forfeiting bonus if cancelled". That's been in every credit card rewards program and I've never seen it...
