Wow, if you ride more than four segments you get zero points on the extra segments if the cost is less than $50? You don't even get 2 points per dollar?
The way I understand, you get 4 segments per day, where the minimum can be invoked. So, if you do 4 segments lower than $50.01, then you get a minimum of 100 for each of those segments. Each additional segment above that would be 2 points per dollar for each segment. If you did 5 segments, each at a cost of $6.50, then you would earn 100 points, 100 points, 100 points, 100 points, 13 points. Can Alan B verify this for me?
As I understand that there is no limit on points you can earn per day, just the number of segments where the minimum can be invoked.
Per the TOS from AGR :
You earn 2 points for every dollar you spend on your own Amtrak rail travel — a 100-point minimum per trip with a maximum of two roundtrips or four one-way trips, per member per day, no matter the price.
What I see is that you could take as many segments per day, and get as many Redeemable points as possible, but only receive the minimum on 4 segments.
Now we need to discuss the bonus issue. As I understand the discussion is whether you get bonus points on all segments you do per day, or if that is limited to 2 segments per day (which would be pretty lame).
Also, question for Alan B, can you earn TQP on more than 4 segments per day?
