    WFH/PDX connection late

    It has been my experience that AGR DOES NOT refund points. In the past the only compensation I received was a voucher. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    Inside the new St. Paul Union Depot

    When the switch to SPUD comes about, be prepared to get the wallet out. The only reasonable place to park is under the depot. It will be very costly. When I went there just to look over the depot it cost me $5.75 for just 1 1/2 hours. I hate to think it will cost for 2 days or longer. Unless...

    American Express Points

    Thank you all for the information. How do you join Air Canada Aeroplan? That looks like the best way to preserve the points. I guess we are annoyed that Amex (got the a Abbreviation right this time) gave us the wrong info, just saying.

    2 or 3 Zone Trip

    I just booked a trip from MSP to DEN via Portland, two zones, this is the only way they would let me go. I tried via CHI, I said I would pay the motel, they said NO. Tried a second call, all the same.
