aaa discount

FT has a post stating that you can get a 50% off companion ticket if you are a member of AAA.

http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=625507

i just tried the code, H644, and it keeps saying this: Problem With Promotional Fare: The promotional fare you requested requires travel with an eligible companion. Since that requirement is not met, we have provided a non-promotional fare.

i have tried twice, both times with two passengers selected.

hopefully others will be able to make good use of this code. i hope it's ok that i linked to another forum here.

it's listed on the amtrak "hot deals" part of their website. there are blackout periods and such. maybe that is the problem.

did you select coach seating, and then just enter the H644 code? i can't understand why it gives me that error, yet it shows two coach passengers. i don't have an AAA membership yet, but will sign up if i can get this sale price to display.

edit- i'm guessing it only works if i have an AAA member number entered into my amtrak.com profile?

i just paid for AAA and have a member number now, but the amtrak site is asking for some kind of club code prefix before the member number. i guess i'll have to call AAA tomorrow to ask what this is.

Your club code is part of your AAA member number. Your AAA number should look something like this:

123-4567890123

The "123" on the left is the club code, and the "4567890123" is your member number.

thank you PRR. i had just figured that out from a popup on the amtrak site. i just re-ordered my tickets, saving $150, with a net savings of $90 after the AAA membership!! wooohooo!

i'll cancel my original tickets this weekend.

did you use H444 or H644? will it work if part of your trip is on one of the listed trains? I'm going on the EB with part of my return trip on Cap Limited.

The H444 was a typo on my part: since corrected to H644.
