Hello! I'm looking into possibly taking Acela NHV-WAS on 6/17/18 or 6/18/18. I was thinking about doing a points redemption on that. I'm a bit confused because even though most of the fares are the low bucket, $176, the point values on those fares are all over the place, from 6,834 to 8,073 to 10,296 points. Does Amtrak just charge whatever point values they want, regardless of the ticket price? I thought AGR 2.0 was supposed to be in line with ticket prices!
 
Okay, thanks. It seems the point values don't fluctuate as much on NER trains compared to Amtrak's "golden boy" Acela.
 
Looks like Acela requires 50% more points during peak weekday travel times. Everything old is new again.
