Customers can now save credit cards, book with rewards points and edit profile information, among other updates.

Amtrak has updated its mobile app to make bookings and travel management easier by allowing customers to book, ticket, change and monitor travel while on the go.

Amtrak’s in-app services now include:

· Save credit card information for quick checkout: Add up to 3 cards to an Amtrak Guest Rewards profile from the app.

· Book on the app using Amtrak Guest Reward Points: Redeem Amtrak guest reward points for travel; customers can tap to convert search results from dollars to points.

· Edit profile information: Users can view and edit profile information including contact information, payment options, discounts, coupons and vouchers directly from the app.

· Purchase parking at ticket confirmation: Customers can tap on a link to purchase parking, where available. This service was added to the ticket confirmation screen for increased convenience.

· Book Auto Train tickets directly from the app: This popular service between Washington, D.C., and Orlando, Flor., is now available on the app. Customers can use the app for ticketing and boarding and say goodbye to the congestion and stress of the interstate. By traveling with their vehicles, customers can reduce almost 95 million vehicle miles on I-95 a year, saving 8.5 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions

“Every minute counts for our riders, and the improvements Amtrak made to the app will help improve our customers’ experience while providing easy access to important travel information and station amenities,” said Amtrak President and CEO Richard Anderson.
