    Calling back since I have not seen any refund or official cancellation yet. Looks like people on the Facebook group also having their trips spontaneously cancelled.

    EB cancelled?

    Was checking to book other routes when I see this on the website, even on the app it says "service cancelled". Is this something do to with the staff shortage? This is almost a month out. The return trip 4 days later is still good.

    Excellent offer for Amtrak Mastercard

    Last time when I did that, I keep both card for one year, and close the new one then shift the credit line to the old one. So my oldest AGR World card credit limit keeps going up.

    Possible Problem For Amtrak Guest Rewards Cardholders

    In restaurants in an primarily ethnic neighborhood (i.e. Chinatowns), you will usually see 10 - 15% discount for using cash. This is because not only the CC fees but the sales tax is also eliminated as well, in exchange of not giving out the receipt. Of course it is not being posted, but the...

    Cash Free On-Board - Open Discussion

    Bitcoin - the legal tender of the Internet and the New Age. Free from political influence, free from national boundaries, free from illegitimate government seizure (which happens on Amtrak all the time).

    Southwest Chief vs Texas Eagle

    Just make sure to turn off International Roaming on your phone if you decide to take TE around El Paso. Too many people get hit with roaming charges when their phones get locked to cell towers south of the border.

    The Amtrak Website Has a "New Look."

    The main page loads quickly, anything after that is slow as hell. Can't make any reservation at all... keep timing out.

    Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago - A Missed Opportunity For Amtrak?

    Good call. Ticket came on sale at Noon CST, $20 a piece, 10,000+ tickets SOLD OUT within the first 10 minutes. Scalpers on eBay are asking for $300+ a piece. This game is FAR from dead. Talking about 100,000+ that weekend.

    Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago - A Missed Opportunity For Amtrak?

    Unfortunately most of the active "users" on PoGo are either GPS spoofers (falsifying GPS location so they can play it on their couch) or botters (accounts operated by automated program).

    Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago - A Missed Opportunity For Amtrak?

    When we still see people driving 2AM at night taking down pokemon gyms, it looks like it is going strong. Besides from official stats, they have 65 million active players world wide.
