Ok so I've been commuting NYC to Philly for a while now and figured out that if you refresh Amtrak like an hour or two(even 10 minutes) before departure you can sometimes snag tickets for like $10-15 that were $95 earlier. Cancelled tickets go back at the original price and it's first come first served.

I was literally doing this manually every time I needed to travel so I just built a little tool that does it for me. It's called Argus, watches prices every 90 seconds and texts you when something drops on your route.

Still pretty early but if anyone wants to try it or just get notified when it's ready — argusfare.com

curious if anyone else here does the manual refresh thing lol
