Amtrak Guest Rewards Program Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 4, 2021

Membership is open to all residents of the U.S. and Canada. To become a member ("Member") of the Amtrak Guest Rewards Program (the “Program”), individuals must enroll by visiting Amtrak.com (the "Site") and completing an enrollment form, or by calling 1-800-307-5000. To complete an enrollment, individuals must provide their full name, address, and email address (“Registration Data”). Full name is defined as the given name, middle initial (if any), and surname. Members shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to these terms and conditions ("T&Cs") posted on this site (subject to routine updates), those obtained by calling 1-800-307-5000, or by writing to Amtrak Guest Rewards, P.O. Box 14368, Philadelphia, PA 19115. Only individuals age 13 and older may enroll via the Internet.

Members must provide a valid, unique email address upon enrollment. Members may opt in to receive monthly eStatements and offers by email. Only one Program account may be associated with a single email address.

Members have the option of opting in to receive information and offers via text messaging by updating their profile preferences. Only one Program account may be associated with a single mobile phone number. If there are multiple Members in a household who share a mobile phone number, those Members can choose to receive mobile information and offers associated with only one Program account.

Members agree to (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete Registration Data as prompted by the Program enrollment form, and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data (found in the "My Account" section of the Site) to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If a Member provides any Registration Data that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if Amtrak, in its discretion, suspects that a Member’s Registration Data is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Amtrak has the right to suspend, terminate, or refuse the Member’s current or future use of the Program.

Members will be provided with a membership number that identifies the individual Member (a “Membership Number”) upon enrollment. The Member should provide the Membership Number when making Amtrak reservations or transacting with Program partners in order to receive points. The Membership Number is unique to each individual Member and is not transferable.

Members agree that creation of a Membership Number and/or participation in the Program will represent the Member’s acceptance of these T&Cs and the Privacy Policy. Upon our request, you agree to sign a non-electronic version of these T&Cs.

Amtrak’s practices with respect to handling Registration Data and other information collected during a Member’s enrollment and participation in the Program are described in the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy describes how Amtrak provides Members with the financial incentive benefits of the Program in return for the points obtained by Members and the Registration Data and other information collected in connection with membership in the Program.

Members agree not to impersonate any person or entity using the Program, and not to upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any material that contains software viruses, or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment used by the Program.

Members agree not to spam or flood the Site or service, or remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices contained on the Site.

Members also agree not to use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other manual or automatic device or process to retrieve, index, "data mine," or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Site or service or its contents, or otherwise interfere with, or disrupt, the Program or servers or networks connected to the Site, or violate these T&Cs or any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of the Program, or of any networks connected to it.

Members agree not to intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international statutes, regulations, regulatory guidelines and judicial or administrative interpretations, or any rules or requirements established by Amtrak (all of which shall constitute "Applicable Law") in connection with their use of the Program.

Only one Program account will be allowed per individual. In the event that more than one account number is assigned to the same Member (duplicate accounts), only the applicable point credit, excluding any enrollment bonus in the duplicate account, can be transferred to the original account. Duplicate accounts and/or points earned or purchased not in accordance with Program Terms and Conditions will be canceled upon notification from the Member or at Amtrak's discretion.

From time to time, potential Members may be offered the opportunity to earn bonus points for enrollment. This bonus may be based on enrollment method or on a source enrollment promotion code that must be provided during the enrollment process. Only one enrollment bonus will be allowed per individual Member.

A Member may receive points only for his/her own travel and will not receive points for trips purchased by the Member, but not traveled personally by the Member. Points can be accumulated only once for each trip, regardless of the number of seats purchased. Accrued points, reward trips and coupons have no monetary value and do not constitute property of the Member.

Points will not be awarded for travel on tickets issued as reward travel from Amtrak or on travel purchased through auction/discount portals such as eBay. Points will not be awarded for tickets purchased with an Amtrak Transportation Voucher. If a ticket is partially paid for with a Transportation Voucher, then the portion funded by the Transportation Voucher will not earn points; however, the remaining value of the ticket purchased will earn points.

Except as provided in this Section, Members who provide their Membership Number at the time of ticket purchase will earn 2 points for every $1 spent on Amtrak travel. Members will earn an additional 25% point bonus for qualifying Business class travel and an additional 50% point bonus for qualifying Acela First class travel. If a free One-Class Upgrade coupon is applied to a reservation, Member will be eligible for the point bonus associated with the original class of service, not the upgraded service. To receive points for Amtrak travel, the Member must provide his/her Membership Number at the time of making reservations and the passenger name must match the Member name. For travel on Amtrak that occurs prior to a Member's enrollment date, points will be awarded, upon request, only for travel that occurs within 21 days prior to the Member's enrollment date. Members may earn points for one train ticket used on a single train or individual train number on a single day. Additional tickets for the same train or individual train number, on the same day, will not earn points.

To resolve point discrepancies, Members must contact the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center in writing within 60 days following the transaction in question by mail or using the Contact Us form. Members must provide Amtrak with sufficient written documentation of the transactions in question. Written requests must also include the Member's name, Membership Number, address, and daytime telephone number. Submit written requests to: Amtrak Guest Rewards, P.O. Box 14368, Philadelphia, PA 19115. In the case of a dispute regarding points, Amtrak's decision will be final.

Points will be credited to a Member's account within 3 weeks after the completion of the Member's Amtrak trip. Points for 8000-series Thruway service travel may take up to 90 days to be credited. Members should retain their Amtrak ticket stubs or reservation confirmation until the points for their travel appear in their Program accounts.

If the Membership Number was not included when the Member made the reservation, retroactive credit may be requested within 120 days of travel. The Member may request retroactive credit online using the Missing Points Request Form. The Member may also request retroactive credit by contacting the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center by mail at the addresses in Section C or using the Contact Us form. Points will not be awarded for travel on Amtrak made without a Membership Number using unreserved tickets unless the unreserved ticket has the Member's name on the eTicket or ticket stub. If a Member purchases a ticket for Amtrak travel on board an Amtrak train, the Member may request retroactive credit by contacting the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center by mail at the addresses in Section C or by using the Contact Us form.

Members may have the opportunity to earn points by purchasing products or services from Program partners. Program partners, partner offers and partner locations are subject to change without notice, and Amtrak assumes no responsibility for partner changes or for informing Members of changes. Points earned through transactions with Program Partners will typically be awarded within 6 weeks.

Additional Exclusions. To earn points for Amtrak travel, the Member must travel on Amtrak using an Amtrak ticket. Members will not earn points for travel on Amtrak using a ticket issued by a carrier other than Amtrak. Members will not earn points for a step-up ticket paid to Amtrak from other carriers for use on an Amtrak train. Neither the originating carrier's pass nor the step-up amount paid to Amtrak is eligible to earn points. Members will not earn points for tickets purchased with discounted group fares. Members will not earn for Amtrak 7000-series Thruway services or the Canadian portion of joint Amtrak/VIA Rail Canada services.

Subject to these Program Terms and Conditions, points earned under the Program will not expire as long as the Program continues and the Member’s Program account is active. “Active” means that the Member earns and/or redeems Program points using his or her Membership Number within a 24-month period.

If no Member initiated qualifying activity is recorded or reported within 24 months for a Member, the Member’s points will expire. Members can view all point and travel activity in the "My Transactions" section of My Account on this site.

A Member’s points will automatically and immediately expire (and the Member forfeits them) if the Member terminates membership in the Program and the Member may not have access to other Program benefits. A Member may terminate membership in the Amtrak Guest Rewards program at any time by contacting the Amtrak Guest Rewards Program Service Center at 1-800-307-5000. If an individual later re-joins the Program, any forfeited points will not be reinstated.

Members may redeem points for Amtrak travel rewards at Amtrak.com or by calling the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center. To redeem points for travel on Amtrak, a Member must reserve and obtain the ticket prior to the train departure time. Members may not redeem points for Amtrak 7000-series Thruway services or the Canadian portion of joint Amtrak/VIA Rail Canada services. Learn more about redemption ticket details.

In order to redeem points for items other than Amtrak travel, upgrade coupons or lounge passes, a member’s account must show at least one point-earning transaction from a paid Amtrak ticket.

Amtrak travel reward trips may be modified or canceled by the Member if applicable based on the fare rules associated with the ticket. Points will not be refunded if the redemption trip is not cancelled prior to the time of departure ("no-show"). All modifications to trips purchased with points are subject to availability and point/monetary penalty. Cancellations of such trips are subject to applicable point penalty. Points cannot be combined with cash for an upgrade in service. If the ticket has been printed (not an eTicket), the unused ticket must be returned to the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center at the address set forth in Section C if eligible for refund or exchange. If the ticket has not been printed or is an eTicket, the cancellation may be made by phone with the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center or online at Amtrak.com.

If a Member needs to exchange tickets due to a disruption in service, Amtrak will book the Member on the next available train at the same level of service if available. If only a lower level of service is available, and the Member agrees to accept that lower level of service, the difference in points will be deposited in the Member's Program account upon request from the Member.

Blackout dates may apply to some offers and promotions including One-Class Upgrade coupons and free companion fare coupons. All Amtrak travel rewards are subject to reward seat availability and may not be available on all trains.

Member is responsible for maintaining a point balance of zero or greater at all times. Members must have sufficient points posted to their Program accounts to redeem points for the Program Reward of their choice. Points cannot be combined with cash or with another Member's points to obtain a Program Reward. Amtrak reserves the right to limit the quantities of Program Rewards redeemed by a single Member in a given time period.

Amtrak is not responsible for any products or services offered by other companies participating in the Program ("Program Merchants"). Program Merchants are solely responsible for the quality and performance of the goods or services supplied. Any rules of the Program Merchants relating to returns and exchanges apply, but no points will be re-credited to a Member's Program account. Use of the Program does not, in any way, indicate that Amtrak recommends or endorses any Program Merchant, regardless of whether the Program Merchant participates in the Program.

Amtrak Guest Rewards non-Amtrak travel gift cards will be sent via the U.S. Postal Service and will typically arrive within 2 weeks. If a non-Amtrak travel digital gift card is selected, it will typically be electronically delivered within 3-7 days. Gift cards are not returnable or refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash and cannot be bartered or sold. Gift cards are governed by the specific rules, conditions, blackout dates and expiration dates shown on or associated with each and are subject to change without notice. Amtrak is not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged, misdirected or misplaced gift cards. Unless otherwise noted in the Program materials, Program Rewards do not include incidental charges such as food, beverages, taxes, service or other charges.

Members with Amtrak Guest Rewards Select, Select Plus or Select Executive status may redeem their points with participating point transfer partners. Current Amtrak Guest Rewards Select or Select Plus Members may redeem up to 50,000 Amtrak Guest Rewards points per calendar year with participating point transfer partners. Current Amtrak Guest Rewards Select Executive Members are not subject to point limits when redeeming their points with participating point transfer partners.

A Member must be a member of the partner's program in which such Member is transferring Amtrak Guest Rewards points to and abide by that program's rules and regulations in order to exchange points to their currency.

Except for the Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate, Amtrak may, in its discretion, cancel, modify, restrict, or terminate the Program or any aspects or features of the Program (except the Arbitration Agreement) at any time without prior notice. Updated Program rules will be available at Amtrak.com. Any change in the Program will apply to unredeemed points as well as points Members may earn in the future.

In accumulating points or Program Rewards, Members may not rely upon the continued availability of any Program Reward and Members may not be able to obtain all offered Program Rewards for all destinations or trips. Amtrak and its partners have the right to change, limit, modify, or cancel Program rules, regulations, rewards, and reward levels at any time. That includes, without limitation, increasing the levels or number of points required for a Program Reward, changing Program Rewards, reducing the number of seats available for Program Rewards on Amtrak trains, adding blackout dates, limiting rooms available for a Program Reward at any participating hotel, changing locations served by Amtrak or its partners, changing or canceling the Program Rewards offered by Program Merchants, or changing or canceling partner participation in Amtrak Guest Rewards. Program rules may change due to changes in Program Merchant rewards programs. Redemption of all Program Rewards is subject to availability. In the event that any of these conditions occur, Members may not be able to obtain certain Program Rewards. Amtrak assumes no liability for these changes. Some Amtrak train or bus services, such as special excursions, may be excluded from Program Reward availability at Amtrak's discretion.

Earnings of points and redemption of Program Rewards may be subject to income or other taxes. Members are responsible for taxes, if any, due on points or Program Rewards.

If, in their sole discretion, Amtrak or its partners suspect fraud, misrepresentation, abuse, or violation of applicable rules involving points or Program Rewards use, Amtrak and its partners have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including the cancellation of accumulated points and Program Rewards, and termination of Program participation.

If Amtrak and/or any Program partner or Program Merchant improperly denies a Member point credit, Program Rewards, or some other benefit, the Member's exclusive remedy shall be the issuance of the improperly denied credit, Program Reward or benefit, if available, or such other comparable benefit as determined by Amtrak, which shall have no additional liability whatsoever.

By participating in the Program, Members agree to receive mailings from Program Merchants. Members may request to be removed from Program partner mailings by contacting the Amtrak Guest Rewards Service Center. Members may review our complete Privacy Policy by accessing Amtrak.com, by calling 1-800-307-5000, or by writing to Amtrak Guest Rewards at the address set forth in Section C.

The Program is subject to all applicable laws and regulations and the redemption of Amtrak rewards is void where prohibited by law. The sale or barter of any Program Reward or other reward offered through the Program, other than by Amtrak, is expressly prohibited.

Amtrak reserves the right to make promotional offers selectively available to Members, based on travel activity, geographic location, Program participation, or other factors.

Accrued points are not transferable in the event of Member death or divorce. All points are subject to all other Program rules. Once points have expired in accordance with the Program rules, they will not be reinstated.

Each Member shall be responsible for advising Amtrak of any changes of name, address, email, or any other profile information.

Except as otherwise provided, the Program is only open to individual participants and not corporations or businesses. Pooling of points or using another individual's account is considered fraudulent and may result in the loss of all points.

AMTRAK MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATION EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES) WITH RESPECT TO TYPE, QUALITY, OR FITNESS OF GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW.

Amtrak is not responsible for requests or correspondence lost or delayed in the mail. Amtrak also reserves the right to correct errant Program point values represented on statements or the Site. Amtrak reserves the right to adjust Point values at its sole discretion.

Each Member is responsible for remaining knowledgeable as to the Program terms and conditions and as to the number of points in his or her account. Neither Amtrak nor Program Merchants will be liable for any of the following: incorrect or inaccurate transcription of entry information; problems related to any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized by the Member; any human error; any interruption, deletion, omission, defect, or line failure of any telephone network or electronic transmission; problems relating to computer equipment, software, or inability to access the Site; any other technical or non-technical error or malfunction; lost, late, stolen, illegible, incomplete, garbled, misdirected, mutilated, or postage due mail, or other mail for whatever reason.

Notices to Members may be made via either email or regular mail to any address in a Member's account profile or other information that such Member has provided to Amtrak in connection with the Program. Members also may be notified of changes to these T&Cs or other matters on Amtrak.com.

Except for the Arbitration Agreement, all terms and conditions are subject to change. Amtrak reserves the right to alter or cancel the Program at any time.

All interpretations of Program terms and conditions shall be at the sole discretion of Amtrak.

PLEASE READ AMTRAK’S MUTUAL AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.

Arbitration Agreement

Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”). This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be as broad as legally permissible, and, except as it otherwise provides, applies to all claims, disputes, or controversies, past, present, or future, that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law or before a forum other than arbitration. Amtrak and Customer (on behalf of yourself and any individuals for whom you purchase tickets, including, without limitation, family members, minor passengers, colleagues and companions (collectively “You” or “Your”), AGREE that this Arbitration Agreement applies, without limitation, to claims Amtrak may have against You and claims You may have against Amtrak and any affiliates or related entities, or against any party to which Amtrak owes indemnity (which party may also enforce this Arbitration Agreement), including without limitation any host railroad, based upon or related to: these Terms and Conditions, breach of contract, tort claims, common law claims, Your relationship with Amtrak, tickets, services and accommodations provided by Amtrak, carriage on Amtrak trains and equipment, any personal injuries (including, but not limited to, claims for negligence, gross negligence, physical impairment, disfigurement, pain and suffering, mental anguish, wrongful death, survival actions, loss of consortium and/or services, medical and hospital expenses, expenses of transportation for medical treatment, expenses of drugs and medical appliances, emotional distress, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of or related to any personal injury), and any claims for discrimination and failure to accommodate, which shall be decided by a single arbitrator through binding arbitration and not by a judge or jury. Except with respect to the Class Action Waiver below, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the validity, applicability, enforceability, unconscionability or waiver of this Arbitration Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and evidences a transaction involving commerce. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), which are available at the AAA website (www.adr.org). A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the arbitrator's decision/award. The parties agree to bring any claim or dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class or representative action, and there will be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or representative action ("Class Action Waiver"). Regardless of anything else in this Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable AAA Rules, any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or waiver of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator. This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to any claim or dispute that an applicable federal statute states cannot be arbitrated.

The failure of Amtrak to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these T&Cs shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Each Member represents that such Member is of sufficient legal age to use the Program and to create binding legal obligations for any liability such Member may incur as a result of such Member's use of the Program.
