Re: Another blow to chase

I would ride a train if we had them out west for long distance (non leisure) travel. Has to average at least 120mph though or it is not worth it.

Re: Another blow to chase

Amtrak needs to either make a profit or go away, why are the taxpayers still subsidizing Amtrak is beyond me.  Either make the business profitable or be gone.  /endrant

 

Anyways, ya it is going to BofA.

So I fail to see how it's a "blow" for Chase... or not a step in the right direction given the relationship. For Chase shareholders this is a positive thing.

Amtrak will not make a profit for as long as airlines are able to undercut them on cost and beat them out for destinations, never mind the speed of travel.

Then let it fold or for those that like taking amtrak pay more for your ticket so i don't have to subsidize it.

One less co-branded card to choose from? Maybe the loss of a UR partner down the line? Makes their card slightly less appealing, unless they add something back. I'm not referring to the perspective of shareholders, but looking at the cards from a consumer perspective.

I agree wholeheartedly. The public has spoken obviously, Trains just don't work in 95% of this country even if 40% of the population lives in the 5% where they do/would.
