We issued a press release this week celebrating National Train Day on Saturday, May 7. We are giving special recognition to our Veterans Advantage discount partnership with Amtrak, which was established in 2001.

Like Vice President Biden and thousands of Veterans Advantage members, I am a big fan of riding the rails. I’ve spoken to many of you over the last 10 years who are just as loyal to riding Amtrak with your Veterans Advantage Card. If you served our military, or are currently serving, and haven’t tried our 15% discount program yet, I encourage you to give it a look and enroll today!

We’re happy that Amtrak has once again extended a special points bonus for Veterans Advantage members who open an Amtrak Guest Rewards frequent traveler account.

Throughout 2011, Veterans Advantage Card members are eligible for a 1,000 point frequent traveler bonus when they join Amtrak Guest Rewards. That’s double the standard enrollment bonus of 500. Just travel within the first 90 days of being a member and the points will automatically be added to your account. Members need to visit Members Only for a special online link to execute the bonus points benefit.

And, don’t forget, those who served can also accumulate more points with a 15% Amtrak Veterans Advantage discount every day of the year after you open your Amtrak Guest Rewards account. This is a special combinable benefit for Veterans Advantage members who have served our country.
