Capitol Corridor Working on New Discount for AAA Members in Northern California

Riders who take advantage of Amtrak’s AAA 10% national discount, please be advised that this discount will be eliminated on Thursday, February 15, 2018. Thursday will be the last day to book travel using the AAA discount. In the interest of preserving this valuable savings opportunity for our riders, the Capitol Corridor – together with Amtrak’s other intercity routes in California, the San Joaquins and the Pacific Surfliner – are working with California’s two AAA clubs to establish a special California AAA discount, which will also be 10%. We are planning to make this "new" AAA discount available sometime in March.

Note that as of early 2/14/18 there is still an AAA page on Amtrak's site with no mention of it ending in the very near future.

It did quietly disappear between the above posting and the start of March.   And now.. this from the Washington, DC Post, 3/19/18:

 


Amtrak quietly ends student, AAA discounts

 

Amtrak officials have quietly ended discounts for students and AAA members and raised the age requirement for senior discounts to 65.
