    Is there a business mastercard?

    I know there is a personal mastercard advertised all over amrtak.com , but I could not find one for business? Almost every credit card offers a business version of their cards.

    Modifying an AGR ticket?

    Once a ticket has been issued, what are my options for changing the dates or cancelling it entirely? From what I read, I would have to return them for a refund then book a new reservation from scratch? Is there any fee for that?
