Amtrak partnered with Usablenet Inc. in 2006 to create a mobile product that would allow access to the Website all day, every day from any location. Customers using a Web-enabled mobile device can see a version of the site in a specially designed format optimized for their device. By visiting Amtrak.com, Amtrak2Go.com or Amtrak.mobi, users can book reservations, check train status, review or cancel reservations, sign up for train alerts and access their Amtrak Guest Rewards account.

 

The new Guest Rewards widget is a free, mini-application that resides on the member's desktop or personalized Internet home page, such as Google or Yahoo. Once installed, members can conveniently obtain key information about their account in quick, easily digestible snapshots. Once logged in, the information stays up-to-date automatically.
