The only time I've seen someone put off the train it was due to her "service" dog's behavior. The conductor made it very clear that it was only the dog that had to go. At first it was just barking, and the conductor said if it didn't quiet down it would need to get off at the next stop. The...

It may well go directly to some archive folder of stuff customers think would work. However, it couldn't hurt to voice some of this feedback to Amtrak. I sent them an email outlining why thier new system sticks in my craw.

When I needed to modify a segment of a trip I just called and simply said I'd like to change this part of the trip. I'd keep my why answer short: meet a friend on the layover or a "scheduling" conflict in the household. Call back and hopefully get someone more competent

It is on the itinerary details once you've selected the fare you can see the break down of coach vs business class upgrade. The one gotcha to this would be if there is only one seat at a lower price.

As one in my mid 20s the reason you don't see junk mail or TV ads directed at us is because we don't care for those media. I haven't responded to a mailing for anything since I got the internet. Most of us stream our TV shows over the internet not via Rabbit Ears or cable subscriptions. The flip...

The flip side of the two person sleeper redemption is that I don't throw away point riding single in a sleeper. As a person who says the heck with y'all I'm going to see/do ___ in ____ city I don't need to find a traveling companion to get "value" from a sleeper redemption.

Look this thread was started in a panic oh my goodness I'll be getting off the Southwest Chief with no connecting segment home. I've moved on found other options and got my refund. I understand my trip cancellations through Chase wouldn't cover this.

No Megabus originally offered back my fare but not the $1.50 booking fee. After a strongly worded email they refunded the remainder of the full amount I paid them. I thought that only disputes of negative information on the credit report impacted ability to get credit. I would not ask for a...

To each thier own, I understand that my view of St. Louis is influenced by it being my hometown. We have our faults just like anywhere else and its certainly been a rough year around here. Like any urban area there is good and bad. I didn't come to Little Rock by Amtrak, the Wingate I stayed at...

Sounds like a great trip! Little Rock could be a good candidate. I visited on a road trip but it seemed quite walkable and with busses and a streetcar to supplement. I only had time to really see the Central high school historic site which was quite well done. Depending on if 18hrs is out of...

Platinum in MasterCard is the step below a World.

From a technology perspective it seems natural to me: new credit card app= new software = server bounce = server maintenance window =late night/weekend

I have it as a visa but the relatant Terms are the same.

The whole thing I was trying to do is get home(STL) from my trip earlier rather than later. With the way Lincoln service has been running lately a connection in Chicago wasn't my first thought(nor did it come up in my options on Amtrak.com, they suggested a Galesburg or KC connection only)...

At least on my cooridor they are doing a mediocre at best job of this (I know I don't count I'm not NEC). Select+ Status under old AGR: 50 Stl-CHI round trips. Every 16th ride is free (1500pts special route) New AGR($27 ticket which is the price I most often pay for the RT): 93 Round Trips...

Maybe showers should've been part of the new legacy club. Say $25 for the 'deluxe' entry that includes shower. That I could get behind (well if Chicago weren't place where I knew people who would happily let me pop in for a shower on a layover).

That was the paragraph I couldn't find in the ream of tiny print literature they sent me about trip protection. If megabus refuses me a complete refund of the charges for the trip I intend to dispute the credit card charge which is separate from the travel protection bit. Right now the email...

Megabus is discontinuing thier line from St. Louis to Kansas City just in time for my upcoming trip on the Southwest Chief. I'd bought the bus ticket because it times out better with getting home in the event the Chief misses the morning river runner. 10pm home after 34 hrs of Amtrak travel...

My past adventures in coach I've done the sponge bath, reapply deodorant, clean clothes and do not pass go go directly to the showers on arrival. Hot showers are unfortunately not a reality for coach class. Persistence is key in getting a low price sleeper. I snagged one last night for a trip...

It was distinctly labeled as carry-on with a sizer for carry on dimensions.
