I don't think it's actually on the website yet. When it shows up, it will probably be on the home page of https://www.amtrakguestrewards.com/When can we register for double points? Nothing on the website. It's supposed to start Monday,correct?

Carolyn,And that two trips per day has me confused...They say oneway...If I do a R/T Sav-FAY -SAV which is not a one way, will I not get the points? Should I book it as two separate trips? After all, I do get off and wait in Subway until the southbound Palmetto comes to take me back...CJ
You would have to overnight in SPG Dave if you wanted double points for each leg of that trip. KIN-NHV would be one trip and NHV-SPG would be your second trip. Therefore either you would have to overnight in SPG or collect only regular points for your return.The "two one-way trips" is confusing. For me to go from KIN to SPG in one day round trip, I could go KIN-NHV and then NHV-SPG or KIN-BBY/BOS and then BBY/BOS-SPG, then the return I must go SPG-NHV and then NHV-KIN. Does that count as 2 trips or 4 trips because it is 4 trains? :huh:
But then again without this double point being in place you'd collect 400+ points for that round trip, i.e. 4 segments at least 100 points per segment. So why should the segment rules suddenly change when double points are stated to be available on only two segments per day?I know what you're saying Alan, but it doesn't seem right. If you input KIN-HAR, it gives a result of KIN-NYP/PHL and NYP/PHL-HAR, but it still is one way. In years past, it said "2 round trips OR 4 one way trips". Thus, since you asked for a one way trip from KIN to HAR, it should not count the same as a round trip!
I do hear you. The times they are a'changing. And quickly.I can't really blame Amtrak for shortening the promotion, given its relatively good passenger numbers. Why reward travel people will do anyway?
