Our Verdict
Not sure how this compares to other discounts they offer, I guess it’s a good deal for business travelers though as you’ll likely get to keep the freebie.

Thanks for the alert. Alas, those minimum spends per segment are poison pills for the utility of this deal to travel hackers.... *unless you're a regular amtrak rail-rider) Recall well the days when we could ride the rails, the short hop, skip & jump routines, within a single day.... (eh Carrie?) Haven't seen any decent promotions on my legacy n/f amtrak card in over a year either.... Amtrak's been Delta'd.... *tic, and that's not a good thing, imho.
