Formerly Certificate H110, now H114. It requires payment of a full regular, senior, or disabled fare for one person, then the other person rides free - in coach. It is not good for advance-booked sleeper travel, only sleeper upgrades on board. Business or Acela First upgrades require payment of accommodation charges. It would appear that the new H114 cert does accumulate points on the paid ticket, as the T&C language prohibiting this has been removed. AGR confirms.
I'm curious how members of this forum have used the Companion Certificate - for NEC coach travel, Acela, day coach travel on other trains, overnight coach, transcontinental coach (ug), coach upgraded to sleeper on board, did you barter or sell the coupon for something you could use, or did it simply expire?
If you actually used the cert for Amtrak travel, what dollar value did you receive, taking into account that both parties might have qualified for AAA discounts, promo codes etc., if they didn't use the coupon? (For example, you would pay $54 full fare EMY-LAX for 2 with the coupon, and $97.20 for 2, AAA discount, without the coupon. Savings only $43.20 OW).
