Book by Friday, July 13, travel August 1 through November 9. Amtrak’s website automatically posts the sale fares upon searching, so there’s no code to worry about.

Amtrak didn’t announce this deal until it actually started, assuring that many news sources won’t have sufficient time to post or print it. But if you act fast, it could be worth it.
