One precise alert
Email only when the opportunity actually improves.
How it works
- Book on Amtrak. Whatever you actually paid.
- Tell us stations, date, and price. We search the window immediately.
- One email when it drops. Confirm on Amtrak before you change anything.
What we will not do
- Invent Amtrak prices. If the live board is down, you see that — not a guess.
- Deep-link into a fake Amtrak itinerary. You copy trip details and book there.
- Spam you. Alerts fire only when the opportunity actually improves.
Questions, answered
Do I need an account?
No. Watch a trip as a guest. Add an email on the trip only if you want fare-drop alerts. Sign-in is optional.
Do you invent Amtrak prices?
No. If the live board is down, you see that — never a guessed fare. Confirm on Amtrak before you change a ticket.
Will you rebook for me?
No. We watch and rank. You book on Amtrak, then tell us what you actually paid.
What does ±1 day mean?
The day before, your travel day, and the day after — every bookable rail option, not just the train you bought.
How often do you check?
Immediately when you create a watch, then morning / afternoon / evening. Press C to recheck now.
If I already booked a specific train?
Add the train number. The board pins it next to the cheapest listed option.
Do you know if I should actually change the ticket?
We show what moved and how close departure is. Change rules depend on Flexible / Value / Saver. We never invent a fee.
Can I send this to someone else on the trip?
Yes. Copy a one-liner with T — stations, cheapest listed train, and what you paid. They still confirm on Amtrak.
Do you subtract the Amtrak change fee?
Only if you type an estimate, or tap $10 / $20 / $50. We never invent a fee. Confirm the real one on Amtrak.
Can I filter by when I need to leave or arrive?
Yes — leave after, arrive by, duration cap, and a 30-minute arrive buffer. Filters stay on this visit only.
What does Beats your train mean?
Cheaper and not slower than yours — or faster and not more expensive. Press Z for ticket-and-board only. Confirm on Amtrak.
How do I walk the board without drowning in panels?
J / K focus a train. H hides it this visit, U undoes, Y copies you vs this, W copies the window, F copies Amtrak fields.
