An eVoucher will expire one year after issuance of the original ticket. A refundable amount left in an eVoucher can be refunded up to the refund expiration date of the eVoucher; this date is based on when initial payment was made for the original travel and may be less than one year after issuance.

Yes, Amtrak transportation vouchers and eVouchers typically expire one year (365 days) from the date they were originally issued. It is important to distinguish between "Guest Rewards" points and vouchers; while Guest Rewards points do not expire as long as your account shows any earning or redemption activity within a 24-month period, a voucher received as a refund or "credit" for a canceled trip has a strict 12-month shelf life. In 2026, Amtrak policies allow you to apply the value of an unexpired voucher toward any future travel, but the travel itself does not necessarily have to occur before the voucher expires—you simply must book the trip before that date. If you do not use the full value of a voucher in a single transaction, the remaining balance is usually forfeited, so it is best to use them on fares that meet or exceed the voucher's total value to ensure you maximize your credit.
