The Amtrak Gift Card is a practical gift for anyone who travels by train. Amtrak is the national passenger rail service in the United States, and the card goes toward the fare for train tickets on its routes.
Because it covers rail fare rather than a single trip, the recipient can put it toward a short regional hop or a longer intercity journey. It is a thoughtful gift for commuters, students heading home, and anyone who prefers the train to flying or driving.
How to redeem your Amtrak gift card
Redeeming is simple. Book your trip at Amtrak.com or in the Amtrak app, choose your train and seat, and enter the gift card number and PIN at checkout. You can apply the full balance to one reservation or spread it across several trips, and if the fare costs more than the card, you just pay the difference.
How to check your Amtrak gift card balance
You can check your balance at Amtrak.com, in the Amtrak app, or by contacting Amtrak customer service with your card number and PIN.
Where you can use it
The card is redeemed toward Amtrak fares booked at Amtrak.com, in the Amtrak app, or at staffed ticket counters in stations. It applies to rail travel on the Amtrak network, so the recipient can plan a route that suits their schedule.
What you can buy with it
An Amtrak gift card goes toward the cost of rail travel and related fares. It can be used for:
- Coach train tickets on Amtrak routes
- Business class and Acela fares in the Northeast
- Upgrades to a higher class of service
- Private rooms and roomettes on long-distance routes
- Tickets for regional and intercity journeys
- Fare for one longer trip or several shorter ones
Amtrak vs other rail travel gift cards
All get you from one city to another, but they use very different modes of travel.
| Gift card | Best for | Reach |
|---|---|---|
| Amtrak | Rail travel across the United States | Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app, and stations |
| Southwest | Domestic air travel with flexible fares | Southwest.com and airports |
| Delta | Domestic and international flights | Delta.com and airports |
| Greyhound | Long-distance intercity bus travel | Greyhound.com and bus terminals |
Choose Amtrak when the recipient travels by train or prefers rail to flying; choose an airline card for longer distances by air, or a bus card for the most budget-friendly ground travel.
