    Auto Train delays

    I haven't had a chance yet (family visiting) but did anyone have any success calling Amtrak and complaining for a partial refund? The folks at the station were leaning on that pretty hard, not sure if anything would come of it or if they were just trying to get people out the door.

    Auto Train delays

    Hey Thirdrail - I appreciate the commentary. I suspect you’re well informed and the truth is somewhere between your description and my frustrated observations. I can say that I was watching the whole process, much like I’d watch an aircraft ground crew while waiting for a late flight, and...

    Auto Train delays

    Hey Mike - I understand some things you just can’t control. But I don’t know why it took 3+ hours to prep the train for passengers and leaving at midnight (SIX Hours after inbound arrival) was insult to injury. To make matters worse it just felt like everybody working at the station was along...

    Auto Train delays

    Funny, I was also on this cursed train on Saturday. (My second Amtrak trip in 20 years) This was really a comedy (tragedy?) of errors. I was flying to VA to buy a new car Saturday morning, and taking the train back to Orlando where I needed to be on monday. Luckily I wasn’t “in a hurry” but...

    When do those 40k bonus points show up?

    This is certainly ironic. My points just showed up. Not there at 8 am est, there by 11 am est. Based on that, I’d hazard a guess that boa does send a daily update to Amtrak rewards, since the points posted one day AFTER the closing date on my statement. Apparently my expectations are always...

    When do those 40k bonus points show up?

    Yes, I’ve got that - which makes perfect sense as a disclaimer, but was hoping that someone might know the mechanics of how that works. IE does boa send Amtrak a roll up of spend on the 15th of every month, do “regular” card points post immediately following the closing date on a statement etc...

    When do those 40k bonus points show up?

    Ok, I applied for the card, got approved, and spent my $2500 on day one. Unfortunately...my first billing cycle / closing date has come and gone, and still no sign of the 40k signup bonus. It is my fault for the bad timing, but was hoping to use this to book the one and only ($750) train trip...

    Credit card signup snafu... rewards account creation?

    If that’s accurate then I am in good shape. If it misses the first billing cycle i’ll Be sweating based on the timelines I’m trying to meet.

    Credit card signup snafu... rewards account creation?

    Good news. Today, Amtrak rewards did show an account number created for me. (Which definitely did not exist 2 days ago) It was missing my email address and phone numbers, but my 3 coupons were assigned so there was some record of my card signup happening. The first rep acted like it was insane...

    Credit card signup snafu... rewards account creation?

    Just called boa and they basically said “we don’t know anything at all about the rewards program, we don’t even know how many points you have.. the only thing we use your member number for is putting it on the card”

    Credit card signup snafu... rewards account creation?

    I don’t have a member number now - the signup process was clear that they would “sign me up” automatically and I don’t want to break that process if it is still going. Will reach out to BoA today, was hoping someone might have insight about the “normal” timelines when applying for the card.

    Credit card signup snafu... rewards account creation?

    I hastily signed up for the 40k points offer last week, and through a number of hiccups I now find myself with a credit card that has a blank "member number" on it, and no amtrak rewards account created. (I was not a rewards member before, so I figured i'd let the new card process create me...
