Complaint: 22168809
I am rejecting this response because:
I don't want to travel on Amtrak! I asked for a refund not a credit!
Regards,
Caroline PerryBusiness Response

DRT:
We spoke with Ms. Perry on September 5, 2024. We explained that the fare she purchased requires cancelation prior to the scheduled departure to be eligible for a refund. If not canceled before the scheduled departure, the entire amount is forfeited and cannot be applied toward future travel. Her fare was forfeit due to a no show.
Therefore, we respectfully denied her request for a refund of her forfeited fare. For a complete overview of our refund policy, please visit http://www.amtrak.com/refund-and-exchange-policy.
In light of her situation, and as a onetime exception, we authorized Transportation Voucher for the full amount of the forfeited ticket, $334.00. We regret that the customer is no longer satisfied with our resolution. We feel our previous exception to policy and issuance of a Transportation Voucher was more the adequate. It will remain on file.
Again, thank you for writing.
Sincerely,

I purchased tickets for myself and my two grandchildren ages 12 and 13 to ride from ***** to **. To start with I have mobility issues and was never informed that coach was upper level when I spoke to someone to purchase my tickets. I was literally crawling stairs each time I had to use the restroom. I was to arrive in ******* at 7:01 p.m. but didn't arrive until midnight. When I arrived I was telling my friends how hoard the trip was and my difficulty with the stairs. They asked me to ask for lower level on my way back. I did. They stated that I get what I pay for even though there were empty seats on the lower level. I got home with bruised legs and arms from crawling and my friend got on the website and seen I should have been asked if I wanted upper or lower level coach seats. As it appears on their website lower level coach seats are available and are a choice; I was never offered. I noticed I was charged two adult one child when I should have paid 1 adult, 1 youth, 1 child. Was told I would return at 8:32 a.m. and didn't arrive until 3 pm.I over paid on tickets, not accomodations were made for my mobility issues, and lied too.I would like my money back for the hardship it caused all the way around. I have contacted them twice with no response. I am very angry that a company can take such advantage of its customers and shouldn't be allowed. I emailed them Aug 1 against Aug 11 without response accept automated stating they would reply. If seats are empty why would they not give them to people with disabilities who were never told they would be on top! I would have never purchased those tickets and want my money back.Customer Answer

Reservation #4FDD94 I am writing to express my utter dismay and disgust at the treatment I received from one of your employees, a conductor named ******, on train 318 on Aug 24, 2024, at 2:55 pm. As a professional woman with a master's degree, a published author, entrepreneur and a respected member of the community, I have never felt so insulted, disrespected, and abused in a public setting.Upon boarding the train headed to *******, ******** from **************, I encountered ******** aggressive, manipulative, and downright disrespectful behavior at the *********** stop around 4:45 pm. His insistence that I remove my purse from the seat in a loud and abusive manner was completely uncalled for. Despite complying with his request, he continued his belittling tirade, causing immense embarrassment and ************** is unfathomable that an individual with such a flagrant disregard for passenger well-being and respect is allowed to represent your company. Furthermore, as he walked up and down the aisle I felt like I had to keep seeing my abuser. He continued to make eye contact with me in a threatening manner, shaking his head, laughing and more. His abusive conduct should not be tolerated under any circumstances. I made it clear to him that his behavior was unacceptable, and I will not hesitate to involve the authorities if such treatment persists.I demand a formal apology for the deplorable behavior exhibited by ****** and urge you to take appropriate disciplinary action against him. As a woman, I refuse to be subjected to such mistreatment and expect better from those entrusted with passenger safety and care. Failure to address this issue promptly may result in further action on my part, including filing a police report.I have attached a photo of the conductor as well as a photo of where my purse was sitting when he disrespectfully approached me. Sincerely,******* ********* ****** ************Business Response

DRT,
We spoke with Ms. **************** on 8/12/2024 and documented in detail her interaction with Conductor ******. We apologized and explained that her complaint was entered into our customer database and will be forwarded to the appropriate management for corrective action. Employees are expected to treat our valued customers with professionalism, courtesy, and respect, and we apologized that this was not her experience.
She was advised it is not our procedure to have an employee provide a personal written apology. We explained that, due to labor agreements, the results of internal investigations must remain confidential within the corporation. She would only be contacted if additional information is required.
As much as we regret the inconvenience to Ms. ****************, Amtrak does not provide reimbursement of completed travel based on allegations of misconduct. Therefore, we respectfully declined her reimbursement request for the completed travel.Initial Complaint

I was on Amtrak train 149 from ********* to *************** on July 21st. I had four tickets. My goal was to get my family to ****** with almost three hours to spare for our flight to ********* reservation number was F00766. I paid $264. The train stopped running at ************ and I needed to hire a car service to the airport, which cost me an additional $108. Once at the airport, I got a notification that my train had been cancelled. Not delayed. Cancelled. On August 2nd, when I called Amtrak, I was informed that the train started running again over two hours later. Due to this, I could not get a refund. I had to settle for a voucher.Thinking a voucher meant $264 worth of Amtrak credit for use on multiple train rides, I accepted. But the voucher says it can only be used for a single purchase! This is not acceptable.I demand a full refund of my fare. This is only fair.Business Response

Amtrak advertises WIFI on its trains here: *********************************************************************** However, it routinely fields trains that have non-functional WIFI. As a business traveler, this is an important selling point that determines how I travel. To advertise functioning WIFI and then regularly not provide it amounts to false advertising on the part of Amazon and a grievous inconvenience on behalf of customers that depend on it to work. I am asking Amtrak to refund 1/2 of my Pacific Surfliner trip To ************ at 11:10am from ************************* on 8/10 (Confirmation number 5111D9).

Dear ***************************,
We are contacting you based on the submission placed with the Better Business Bureau.
While our goal is to have the ************* operational all the time, like other carriers, we will unfortunately have an occasional outage. Please accept our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience this caused. We have very detailed FAQ's on our website: Journey with WiFi
Our system is monitored 24/7, and when an outage occurs, multiple people are alerted, and attempts are made to resolve the issue promptly. Unfortunately, the repairs themselves can't always be immediate depending on the issue. Please be assured that we strive to keep downtime to a minimum. We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us. This information is shared with the responsible management personnel for review.
We are working diligently to improve our customers' services and hope that many will share your interest in train travel. The comments we receive from our customers are very important to us, as these help us calibrate the services we provide and adjust where warranted. We understand and appreciate your desire for compensation; however, it is not Amtrak's policy to offer compensation for this issue. Therefore, we must respectfully deny your request.
Once again, thank you for contacting us. We look forward to serving your travel needs in the future.
Sincerely,

Complaint: 22122861
I am rejecting this response because: I disagree with the assertion that this is an isolated incident. It is my belief that this functionality is not properly tested at reasonable intervals which facilitates its systematic failure. Roughly 2 out of 3 Amtraks that I take do not have WIFI. This problem is systemic and Amtraks failure to address it over the years as well as denying recompense upon its failure, while continuing to advertise WIFI as a reason to use their service is against the law.I've filed a complaint with the *** in response to Amtraks response. This is a consistent enough problem that Amtrak must either institute a verifiable testing regimen (to prove that these are isolated incidents) or remove WIFI from their advertising. I will continue to take Amtrak and continue to note instances when WIFI does not function.

I was told by the Amtrak crew that my only option was to get a cab from ************ to ********************* in order to catch the Metro and get to *********.
