If you're upgrading to a roomette or bedroom, you'll have to plan further ahead: Those upgrades must be locked in at least 37 hours before the scheduled departure time. Unlike similar programs on airlines, Amtrak's upgrade bids can currently only be submitted with cash payments and not with points.
