  Argus watches Amtrak prices so you don't have to.
  
  Traveling the Northeast Corridor? Amtrak ticket prices drop significantly in the final 1-2 hours before departure — last minute refunds, no-shows, and Amtrak's desire to fill every seat create brief windows where fares fall dramatically. Most travelers never know this happens.
  
  Argus monitors prices automatically and alerts you the moment a fare drops below your target — no refreshing, no watching, no missed deals.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  - Search your route on Amtrak.com — Argus activates automatically
  - Set your target price threshold
  - Argus monitors prices every 90 seconds, even in the background
  - Get an instant browser notification when prices drop
  - One click takes you straight to booking
  
  THE SECRET WEAPON
  Always select the Flexible fare when booking. If the price drops again after you book, buy the cheaper ticket and cancel the first one. Argus keeps watching even after you book so you never miss a further drop. Users have saved up to $150 on a single trip using this strategy.
  
  FEATURES
  ✓ Real time price monitoring — reads live fares from your own browser session
  ✓ Color temperature system — blue means not a deal yet, amber means getting close, green means book now
  ✓ Background polling — monitors every 90 seconds eve
