I'm hoping everyone here can lend their expertise on this matter. My girlfriend is looking to travel between Rutland, VT and Lynchburg, VA. According to the AGR site, they are both in the Northeast zone. However, when I called AGR to book the ticket, I was told it would be 5,500 points (a one zone award). I questioned this, and the rep checked with her supervisor and confirmed this was the case. So I asked her to look at New York to Lynchburg as a means of comparison. She said that if the Regional to Lynchburg was booked, it was considered a Northeast zone award, but if the Crescent was booked, it would be a one zone award. Of course, connecting from the Ethan Allen (from Rutland), one can only connect on the Crescent.
Has anyone ever heard of this? My understanding was that the Northeast Zone was the Northeast Zone, regardless of what trains one took between the city pairs, assuming one is traveling in coach. I can't seem to find anything in the terms & conditions that say otherwise.
Does anyone have experience with this or has booked an LD train within the NE zone? What should I do? I'm trying to get this taken care of before the points go up, unfortunately my girlfriend has waited until the last minute to do this.
Thanks!
