Choose your destination and departure time from a current Amtrak timetable. You can access the timetable through the Amtrak website, by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245), or in print at the train station.
Present your exchange voucher at the time of booking your ticket at the Amtrak ticketing counter. The exchange voucher value is determined when you apply for the voucher and will be noted on the front of the document.
Pay the difference. If the price of your new ticket exceeds the value of your exchange voucher, you must pay the balance. But if your ticket cost is less than the value of your exchange voucher, you must forfeit the rest of the voucher and won't receive a refund of the difference.
