AMTRAK gift card

Members Only

$475

$500 value (5% off)

Note: This gift card does not appear when filtering on the TRAVEL category.

I see frequent posts that indicate that some members look at environmental aspects of membership, such as no paper publications, no plastic membership cards, whether AARP insurance partners will insure their electric vehicles, etc. Kudos to AARP for facilitating a more environmentally friendly travel option!

From the AMTRAK website:

According to the 2021 U.S. Department of Energy Data Book, Amtrak is 46% more energy efficient than traveling by car and 34% more energy efficient than domestic air travel.

Does anyone know if this Amtrak gift card is delivered by email or mail? I need it for travel in a week and not sure if mail delivery would work as it may take longer than a week to arrive? If by email, does it arrive within hours upon payment?

It is digital, according to the fine print (copied and pasted here below) that appears at the bottom of the offer. Note that there has been a number of comments posted recently about system glitches and delivery problems with e-cards, so buyer beware. And enjoy your trip!

You're right! I missed the fine print and went directly to check out and didn't see anything about delivery info. Thanks so much for the reply and hopefully will not encounter any system glitches 😉
