Our Members Love This Benefit:
I wanted to let you know how pleased I am because I am saving $1350.00 per year on AMTRAK thanks to the Veterans Advantage benefit. I travel roundtrip Boston / New York each week. The return from my annual membership fee far exceeds any investment I’ve ever had. I think it also exceeds my first year salary as a young marine back in 1965.

I was going to take the train from San Diego to Chicago a few months back and Amtrak offered me a rate of only $144 round trip and I thought that was great! Then Amtrak called me back and said I could upgrade to a sleeper for only $200 extra! So I got to travel round trip to Chicago from San Diego for $344 FIRST CLASS.
