It's about time. http://www.startribune.com/local/east/253559541.html

Update: So the points posted to my account today, 1 week after I took my trip. I didn’t bother contacting AGR customer service because my points didn’t go away on the 11th like I thought they would. Maybe Amtrak has so sort of unpublished grace period or hold when new points are pending...

Thanks for all the info. I will wait till Monday to see if the points post, if they don't I will try the flyer talk route.

Thanks for your quick reply! Do you think I should wait a few days for the points to post or should I do it now? Do the points usually post right away with eticketing?

It has been almost 3 years since my last paid Amtrak trip and my guest rewards balance was set to expire on March 11th. Yesterday (March 6th) I traveled from CHI to GLN to prevent the points from expiring. I bought a ticket on the Amtrak app with my login that is linked to my guest rewards...

JMX53 and WellTrained thanks for the information.

JayPea Thanks for your quick replies. I think I'll try business class on the trip leaving Seattle but will do coach on the way back. fairviewroad Thanks for you explanation of the baggage situation. It makes a lot of more sense to me now.

I’m venturing to the pacific northwest for the first time and I have several questions about the amtrak cascades I’m hoping the wise people in this forum can help me with. I will be flying to Seattle then taking amtrak from SEA to ALY and returning a few days later. My sister will be meeting me...

I'm not horribly knowledgeable about the subject but since no else is responding to your question I will take a shot at it. I believe that 2.5 hours is too short to turn a long distance train at least on a consistent basis.You could restock, clean and board it in that time if you had enough...

I have noticed the same thing. It now seems that a few days (my best guess is 2-3, never more than 6) before a trip amtrak removes the high prices and then tries to sell the remaining inventory at the lowest bucket price. At least this has been my experience, I use the builder semi frequently...

Awesome discovery. This is the exact connection I'm always on the look out for.

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised they ran the bus for a delay of only 2 hours but I guess if people are expecting to transfer to a 6pm train leaving chi it would make sense.

Does anyone know how late the 8/28 EB needs to be running before Amtrak busitutes people from msp to chi?

This is my first post but i have been lurking of this forum for a few months. I’m a huge fan of rail travel and want Amtrak to be the best it can be. If you had the change to ride the empire builder through the north suburbs of Minneapolis you may have noticed 5 new shinny train stations that...
