    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;In the Shopit Now section, under Travel / Real Estate, under time “4. Amtrak,” you state, “&lt;STRONG&gt;Seniors 65+ travel for 50% off every train, every day.&lt;/STRONG&gt;”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I thought, wow, and immediately went to the Amtrak website, where I learned that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Amtrak provides a 10% discount for seniors with some restrictions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The website link you provide under your claim about 50% discounts indicates &lt;STRONG&gt;that discount only applies to Amtrak Downeaster, which travels from Brunswick, ME to Boston, MA. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;So this savings does not apply to many of us who live in other states.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have lost interest in taking the time to look at the other ShopitNow listings.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Always fine print everywhere in everything I’ve learned, &amp;nbsp;or the ever handy “subject to change”. if something is too good to be true, it usually is, I’ve found. &amp;nbsp;Let them know. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":thumbs_up:"&gt;👍&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
