Got my Guest Rewards Select package yesterday. And again, it contained coupons for "one-class upgrades" and "10% discount", in addition to "Club Acela single-day pass"
Now, please explain to me how any of these three items have any benefit to me in Texas.
(1) the upgrade is not applicable to sleepers, even when the value is LESS than the Acela upgrade advertised.
(2) the 10% discount is not applicable to sleepers, even when it might be $5.oo
(3) I already get the 10% rail fare discount via NARP, but the coupons are heavily date/availability restricted.
AMTRAK needs to rethink AGR coupons, and develop a program which targets regional usage and geographic location of the member, and has value for those of us who rarely if ever get to the NEC.
How about any of these:
(1) discounts on sleepers, even if only 10%
(2) complimentary upgrade to sleepers at, say, 50% off, when purchased onboard (the space is not sold anyway)
(3) discount on Superliner meals and snackbar
(4) complimentary upgrade roomette to bedroom
I could think of more, but anyone have comments?
