I noticed this also on an online add and started looking at options for a trip into NYC. I find their site miserable to use and although I have played with a variety of dates, I can't seem to determine if they qualify for the 50% off. It is looking like still around $450 r/t for 3 people which is what I was pricing out before this sale. Am I missing something??

I honestly have been at it for more than an hour trying various dates between 11/11 and 11/29 - but excluding 11/26 and 11/27 But nothing is obviously jumping out at me that they are 50% off. I tried both Acela and northeast - saver, coach and business.

I noticed this on article you posted:
The discount will automatically be applied at checkout on all valid routes, although it appears that not all departures are discounted, so you may have to search a little to find the cheapest fares.

It would be nice if they noted which routes are valid.

I suggest you call Amtrak Customer Service to learn more: 1-800-872-7245

I have found in the past if I just go to the site no discount appears. If I go thru the email they send me the discount appears.

Thanks all for the suggestions, but I have given up. Hours online and over 1/2 hour on the phone last night making my way around their automated system. I will probably just drive in if we decide to go.

We mostly take the Pennsylvanian, which travels once a day from NYC to Pittsburgh, and once a day from Pittsburgh back to NYC. We're glad they have it, because it saves us a ton of driving, but it is NEVER discounted.
