Absolutely not! Guest Rewards works for anyone on any Amtrak train.thedude said:I have many questions of the Amtrak Guest rewards system. The first question, however is it is only for people who ride Acela.
Yes, or if you just have gotten back from a trip I think you can send in your ticket stubs to earn points.thedude said:I have another question.
Do you have to sign up before you go on the trip for this to cont. In terms of points?
You can only get points if you sign up with in 90 days of your trip, I think. It might be 30, I'm not real sure right now, but I will try and look tomorrow.Amfleet said:Yes, or if you just have gotten back from a trip I think you can send in your ticket stubs to earn points.thedude said:I have another question.

You would have to xerox the stubs and send in the copies, along with a letter that includes your GR account number. Under no circumstances should you send in the actual ticket stubs.thedude said:So if I sign up the day after I got back, does that mean I would get the points automaticaly. Or do I still have to send in the stubs?
I can't begin to imagine how that is possible. If your number is not on the original Amtrak ticket, then there is no way for the computer to pick up the fact that you made a qualifying trip. When the conductor lifts your ticket he turns it in when he goes off duty.Chatter163 said:>>The general rule is, if your GR account number does not appear on the stubs, then you will not get automatic credit. <<
Sorry, but I would dispute this. I have traveled numerous times in the past year without ever having my GR number on the stubs. In every situation I was automatically rewarded the points. By following the point balance online, I found that the points were added every few weeks without my even saying anything. :lol:
I wouldn't try using the same card for three people, as the computer will match both the GR number and the name on the ticket stub.battalion51 said:Well if you do it on line you can use three different Guest Rewards accounts for three different people. You however have to have seperate reservation numbers if you want to use the same card for all three people.
