I've purchased Amtrak's USA Rail Pass 3 times. Most rides are slow and uncomfortable, but I can't wait to buy it again.
Briefly

Amtrak's USA Rail Pass provides access to 10 trips across over 500 destinations for a flat fee of $500. The pass allows travel within 30 days of the first ride, enabling exploration of iconic American landscapes and cities. Although the onboard experience lacks luxury, with only coach class and public restrooms available, seating is comfortable enough for rest. Many travelers find the cost-effective nature of the pass appealing, especially considering the savings for longer round trips, making it a worthy investment for travel enthusiasts.
Amtrak's USA Rail Pass allows riders to take 10 trips across the country for a flat fee of $500, enabling exploration of more than 500 destinations.
The USA Rail Pass is valid for 30 days after the first ride and offers access to some of the most beautiful journeys that US rail travel provides.
Although the rides aren't luxurious, they provide enough comfort, and the seats recline, making it possible to rest during long-haul journeys.
Purchasing the pass can result in significant savings; a longer-haul round-trip might cost as much as the 10-ride pass.
