Ready to discover more of America at a lower price? National rail carrier Amtrak has just announced a limited-time rail pass flash sale to help travelers see more of the country.

From now until Thursday, January 25, 2024, Amtrak is offering customers $50 off the purchase of a USA Rail Pass. The pass, now available for $449, is valid for 10 rides with a selection of over 500 destinations across 30 days of travel – each segment costing less than $45.

“The USA Rail Pass is perfect for those craving adventure and provides a convenient way to travel from town to town or across the country,” said Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Eliot Hamlisch. “This sale gives riders the opportunity to save big while making it easier to discover a hidden gem, revisit favorite spots or head home to reconnect with loved ones.”

To take advantage of this promotion, travelers need to:

  • Purchase the USA Rail Pass within the sale window and build their travel itinerary.
  • Travel with the pass within 120 days of purchase and within 30 days after travel of the first segment. The pass is valid for 10 segments with no blackout dates.
  • Use the Amtrak app to access tickets, check train status and get boarding information.

 USA Rail Pass is available for travel in Coach and features wide, reclining seats with a big picture window, plenty of legroom, and no middle seat. Amtrak Guest Rewards members earn two points per dollar spent on each USA Rail Pass following travel on the first segment.
