For our anniversary, one of my daughters gave us some vouchers for future Amtrak travel. I'm already planning our next adventure to Portland, and I hope to have enough points for a round trip from Chicago.
Can I combine the voucher with points?
As in "combine cash & points" for the same segment? Not until they activate the cash & points option. If you mean use the vouchers for one segment and points for another, yes. I've taken trips with the old system where I booked home to <border city> with cash then <border city> onward with points.
That's what I sort of figured, but I wanted to hear from someone who knows better than I.
Of course, the next logical question is: When does the "Points plus cash" option become available? I figure I'll book this trip in August of this year. Hopefully it'll be available by then.
