What is the refund policy for unused Amtrak tickets?

Asked a year ago
The refund policy for unused Amtrak tickets is as follows: If you have purchased a ticket but will not be able to use it, you can request a refund. For e-tickets, a refund can be obtained by canceling the reservation prior to the scheduled departure time. A refund fee may apply, depending on the type of ticket purchased. For paper tickets, they must be returned to Amtrak along with a written refund request. The refund amount is subject to deductions for any applicable fees. It is important to note that not all tickets are refundable, and some may only be eligible for credit towards future travel. It is recommended to review the terms and conditions of your specific ticket before requesting a refund.
