Hi Gary, thanks for sharing my Amtrak post about changes to the refund/cancellation policy. Hopefully it does not impact too many people.
Also greatly appreciate the heads up on the Amslack issue
Took a major criminal troll from Delta to not improve the program but ruin my customer loyalty going forward
He drove me from Delta and now just as I was warming up to Amtrak I’m done
I wonder if they are also going to ding point redemption cancelations as well
