Hello, Experts!
I'm planning to redeem 25,000 of my points for a bedroom on the Coast Starlight, LAX-SEA, to return my daughter back to college at Seattle U in September.
My questions (and excuse my ignorance):
1) Does a bedroom award cover the accommodation only, or does it include my rail fare as well?
2) Can I buy, rather than redeem points, a ticket to pay for her trip? (Her AGR account only has 600 points in it.) If I can't buy a ticket for her, can I redeem some more of my AGR points on her behalf?
3) We'd actually be leaving from FUL, taking a Surfliner to LAX. Any issues about this?
4) Anything else I should know in advance or ask the AGR agent in the process of the redemption and making the reservation?
Thank you, oh Wise Ones!
Joel
