I've tried to play with rail sale. It doesn't seem to work for me. For example On the rail sale chicago to LA - I would key in and see maybe 8 seats on the day I would choose for what $58. In that same rail sale area I would then choose my actual rail trip, Chicago to Lamy, and I would get the regular price of $200 or so. What do I need to do for the system to honor the rail sale price for those 8 seats on my destination short of LA?
I also asked this question as a response under a subject by disgusted

What day are you planning to depart? I'm not going to go around stalking you, but I'd like to be able to replicate the problem if I can.

Hey, here we go. May 10 and 14 (I'm assuming other dates too) there are no rail sale seats listed. Perhaps they have all been purchased by now, or there is a large group on board the train that date so they are unavailible.

H208 is the promotion code for the 30% off sale. That is different and cannot be combined with RailSale discounts.

Thanks Amtrak207
I am actually going in June. Leaving Phila on June 15.
Since June isn't available yet, What I did was choose any date that had seats available as part of the rail sale for $58. I would be able to go from chi to la seeing 8 seats available then would go back and redo the same date with chi to lmy - that's when it wouldn't work. I tried many dates, so unless I used the entire route chi to la I'd get regular prices.
I did try the H208 for my ticket. I'm leaving Phila on 6/15 so the portion from Phila to Chi does get the 30% off but not the Chi to lmy portion. The $58 for that part would be great.
I do have tickets in hand at present for my trip (phila - lmy; return flagstaff - phila) and was planning on returning them for rail sale if available.
