The rail service is now offering the multi-ride pass for $299 — which is $200 lower than the standard rate of $499, as disclosed by Amtrak to Travel + Leisure. With this pass, travelers have the opportunity to book 10 coach journeys for under $30 per segment across the majority of Amtrak’s network, free from blackout dates.

Participants in Amtrak’s Guest Rewards program can accumulate two points for every dollar spent on each USA Rail Pass after their initial segment.

“With significant discounts on the USA Rail Pass, we are delighted to present guests with the chance to forge unforgettable memories while traveling by rail across the nation,” Eliot Hamlisch, Amtrak’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer, stated in a release provided to T+L. “Whether arranging a dream trip, a nationwide adventure, or a series of brief journeys, the USA Rail Pass offers an excellent way to reach a remarkable variety of winter and spring destinations while evading the pressures of flying or driving.”

Once travelers secure the USA Rail Pass, it can be utilized on some of Amtrak’s most popular routes, such as the Adirondack line, the Silver Service line, the Texas Eagle line, the California Zephyr, among others. Nonetheless, the pass is not applicable on Acela trains, the Auto Train, the Maple Leaf line in Canada, or on the Thruway Bus Series 7000-7999.

In addition to the USA Rail Pass, Amtrak also provides two other similar multi-ride passes: a commuter multi-ride alternative and a California Rail Pass, which is priced at $159 and permits travelers to board and disembark from various California trains on any seven days within a 21-day span.
