Has anyone booked a trip through United with an Amtrak segment? Amtrak says on their website to book a trip via Newark-EWR (which I have to do) with a train trip from PHL (which is easy enough for me to do) to earn Amtrak Guest Rewards points for both the train trip and flight. I just had the worst experience with United customer service. Went through two different phone calls and four agents (and a side conversation on Twitter with a rep), none of whom were helpful. Based on my experience, it almost seems like neither United nor Amtrak have ever had any one actually try to do this.The interesting thing about all this is that you can get AGR points on United rather than MileagePlus points, and book the train trip separately.
