Amtrak will start their “Go Free” promotion with registration opening Monday on the Amtrak website.
Take three qualifying roundtrips on Acela from January 6 through March 1, 2014, and you’ll get one free roundtrip for travel July 1 through August 31, 2014. Take two qualifying roundtrips on Northeast Regional from January 6 through March 1, 2014, and you’ll get one free roundtrip for travel July 1 through August 31, 2014. Take two qualifying roundtrips on Cascades from January 6 through March 1, 2014, and you’ll get one free roundtrip for travel March 2 through April 30, 2014. Take two qualifying roundtrips on Hiawatha from January 6 through March 1, 2014, and you’ll get one free roundtrip for travel March 2 through May 31, 2014.
Hiawatha is Chicago – Milwaukee and Cascades connects Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver British Columbia.
The Acela offer could entice some folks in the Northeast corridor to choose the train over the US Airways or Delta shuttle — I’d love to see Dividend Miles and Skymiles come up with counteroffers.

No Amtrak in Idaho, bummer 🙁
Make sure you’re logged on to your Amtrak Guest Rewards account. If you go to the Guest Rewards page and you’re not logged in, you will only see the Acela promotion, not the other three. Once you log in, look under “My Promotion Summary” and you can click for all the offers there.
