Sometimes, you might be able to get a faster response by contacting a company on Twitter — that definitely isn't the case with Amtrak. Yesterday, our nation's rail operator responded to a tweet from a woman stuck in an Amtrak-operated elevator — seven months after she posted asking for help.
If you have an urgent travel-related request (or plea for help) — especially if Amtrak is involved — you should probably just pick up the phone.

How we chose these cards
Our points-obsessed staff uses a plethora of credit cards on a daily basis. If anyone on our team wouldn’t recommend it to a friend or a family member, we wouldn’t recommend it on The Points Guy either. Our opinions are our own, and have not been reviewed, approved, or endorsed by our advertising partners.
