I was just about to book a trip on the Starlight from Oakland to LA and use my Amtrak World Mastercard business class upgrade coupon, and then I noticed this in the fine print of the coupon.
This seems really strange to me that I can upgrade to first on the Acela, but not up to business on the Starlight. Bummer!
