I made three Amtrak reservations last night for three separate trips. While they are all showing in my online account, I didn't receive confirmation emails for any of them. Yes, I checked my spam folder. This is annoying, because I use Tripit to track my travel, and it gets its data from the confirmation emails. I could add the data manually, or call Julie and get them re-sent, but I'm feeling lazy and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem.

I have had this problem in the past, but it was 10 months ago. I ending up having to call to get them sent.
 
I've also had this problem in the past, and calling did not change the situation.

For whatever reason, when I talked to the agent over the phone (she confirmed I was booked), she said she was resending, but I never received it.
 
What email providers are you using?

I have found that Google (both my gmail account and my Google Apps @lastname.org accounts) sometimes blocks emails even BEFORE they get to your spam folder. I've had that issue before with AGR emails so much so that I switched to using my work email account to get emails from them.
 
I have had this problem in the past, too. With the ones that I never received, even asking them to resend twice I never received it even though I had no problems receiving others. I think it is something within their system that makes it fail as I even asked them to send it to another email address I had (different host) and it still didn't come.
 
Guess Amtrak was having mail server problems. They all just showed up.

I just had the same experience. Made reservations last night, but never got the confirmation emails. I called, they resent, but I didn't get them. However, they showed up later this morning! :)
