Refunds, lost cards & acceptance
Amtrak's policy is that lost, damaged, or stolen gift cards will not be replaced or replenished. Treat the card like cash. If your card is lost or stolen, call 1-888-999-0016 immediately to report it and request any action on the remaining balance. Amtrak is not responsible for unauthorized use.

Buying through Dyme earns 1 Dyme Mile per dollar (5 per dollar during special offers). See the Amtrak gift card buying guide.
