  • Interests:I like riding trains, in First Class, Sleeper, or Coach. (If just a short jaunt) I expect courteous service, equipment that works, arriving close to "on time", & clean windows. Is that too much to ask for?

Think I'm right on this, but wanted to verify:

Burned 3K points for coach on NER, can't use an AGR UpGrade Certificate to go to Biz, can I?

(don't ask WHY I'm burning points from BWI to PHI, I'll tell ya all later, maybe)

Nope.

Free upgrade coupons only work when you've paid the full railfare. Paid being the operative word.
Alan,

Take care and take trains!

Sadly PHI is the abbreviation that Fox Sports and ESPN and many sports outlets use during Philadelphia sport team broadcasts. So I guess PHI does exist to some. :(
