For those unfamiliar with Amtrak BOGO roommettes and are (reasonably) confused when the price isn't exactly 50% off a single-passenger roommette booking:
A roommette's final ticket price has two fees: the "roomette fee" and the "per-passenger fee". Imagine the roomette fee is $700 and the per-passenger fee is $100, so the total final single-passenger roomette price will be $800 (because $700+$100). With two passengers sharing the same roomette, you have the same one room fee plus two per-passenger fees, so it would be $900 total (because $700+$100+100). If you used this BOGO coupon on this imaginary scenario, you would not pay the second $100 per-passenger fee, so the final price with the coupon for a two-passenger roommette is $800, not $900.
In other words, the roomette fee never gets discounted (which is nearly the entire final ticket price is basically the room fee).

I'll also add that our car was NOT upgraded... it was a "transition car", which meant we didn't get an attendant and was the furthest away from the dining & observation cars. The dining cars are run by militant and inflexible attendants that make you sit with strangers every meal, regardless if space is available. Our trip was the CA Zephyr and I'd give it a 2/10, not recommended.

Maybe I am just dense but every time I try to check a price, Amtrak fares are like 4x that of a plane ticket and the trip is days longer. I don't understand the appeal. I'd rather drive if I was afraid of flying.

I wish they'd offer a real discount one day so I can find out. I think I've had an alert for over 10 years now and can't catch anything close to a deal I could use.

It's strange that it would cost more. Especially 4x more. I'd only consider it if I was saving a good amount of money.

Thanks. Is there a way to see fares across multiple dates?

Are these the quarters with the toilet right next to the bed?

No, you gotta brute force it and be flexible if necessary

Only routes that go to the east coast have toilets in the roomettes. And some of those are being phased out with newer cars
