Is a crook

Your system is broken

You have to literally be a rail fan to patiently endure the onboarding process. You can’t continue this nonsense.

Don’t contact us

Hold times when you need customer service are extremely long and not available when you need

Bad bad bad

Very bad service, had me and 2 more people stand up for 1 hour when there was no seats available whole hour for them to figure out where they going to seat us after refusing my request to upgrade to business class when half the section of business class was empty not to mention they allowed over 10 people to sit at business class since there was no seats to sit down … the employees here should be ashamed

App is full of bugs

Lots of issues with Applepay when processing payments.

poor function

app is tricky- near impossible to apply rewards

Senior user unfriendly

As soon as I switch over to Senior, it makes the purchase of my ticket with my credit card almost impossible so I have to use my Apple Pay

App is slow

I tried to use the app to book a train. It took 10 attempts. When I got to almost paying for a ticket, the train was no longer available for coach or business class. But conveniently the expensive one was available for over $630 , one way from $46 and $64z I tried calling and good luck getting through

App appears to have no useful purpose

My experience with this app is that it doesn’t work. For example, when I log in it tells me to complete my profile, yet I have done so, many time. Also, I want to BidUp but it won’t let me turn the option ON. Also, train status is always incorrect. In fact, nobody seems to know anything about the train status. I’m also upset about after-the-fact gotchas. For example, my trip, which includes segments on the Coast Starlight and Empire Builder doesn’t even qualify for BidUp because when I check eligibility it says Nope! You don’t qualify. Why not? Which segment doesn’t qualify? Both? Or is there some other problem? I can’t tell what the problem is and the station clerks and train staff don’t know either. Of course, i can call Amtrak 8 to 5 Mon - Fri, but since I’m on a train with no cell coverage, good luck with that! All in all, a very frustrating experience which, in this age of virtually instant communications, makes so sense whatsoever.

Conductors

We’re very helpful and polite

Credit card verification

Your credit card verification system does not work properly. After attempting to buy the same ticket five times in a row I finally switched to Apple Pay. This application consistently buggy which is not surprising considering how poor Amtrak service is in general.

The app

The app is terrible. I can never purchase a ticket on the app I always have to do it online. And the train is late every single time I take it. But that’s okay because I appreciate public transportation. I just feel like you all should prioritize the tracks better. Besides that. The staff is always great. The prices are decent and I like the view. Thank you. And maybe it’s just me idk. But it seems the app never works.

the app itself is fine, but every train i've taken from seattle has had a late departure and/or arrival. get it together, amtrak!

Excellent App

A great trip planner!!!

Never works

This app is useless

It’s hard to know where to start. I suggest you try to use it and you will see what I mean…….

Make adding same passengers and multiple coupon codes easier

Needs ability to save passengers you frequently travel with and their membership numbers.

Also possible to add multiple coupon codes to a reservation?
