How to Redeem a Free Ticket on BoltBus

Traveling by bus is an economical option when visiting cities within a few hours drive and eliminates the stress and hassle of a long car ride. BoltBus, a bus transportation company, offers fares as low as $1 and, as of April 2011, travels to seven east coast cities ranging from Boston to Washington, D.C. Its Bolt Rewards program gives frequent passengers a free one-way ticket simply by traveling eight times on BoltBus. Redeeming a free ticket is simple using the BoltBus website.

      Move your mouse over the word "Purchase Options" next to the departure you'd like to purchase and click "Book Round Trip."

      Review the details for your trip and make sure they are correct. The confirmation page will display the face value of the ticket(s) you are purchasing, but you will be charged for the tickets you purchase minus one free one-way ticket. For example, if you are buying a round-trip ticket, you'll only be charged for a one-way ticket since you are redeeming a reward.

      On the confirmation screen, enter "1" under "Redeemable Rewards" and click "Submit." This will apply your free ticket to the transaction and also waives the transaction fee for your reward ticket.
