Typically the Fall promo starts later in September. Give it a week or two.

The fall Double Days promo starts Monday, September 8, and will run through November 14. Registration is not open yet, but should be by Monday.
Thanks for the info Bill, who'll be the First AUer to sign up???☺
I am patiently waiting Jim. Thanks for the heads-up Bill. Now if we can just find out when the Autumn Excursion is taking place

If it involves BBQ runs, I'll give you 3 guesses - and the first 2 don't count!

This "foamer" is passing on this promo... I'll be at MODOC learning how to run trains during the Promo..
You should sign up. Maybe you'll get points for "training". :giggle:This "foamer" is passing on this promo... I'll be at MODOC learning how to run trains during the Promo..
I have been patiently waiting for the return of Double Days...thankful for the automatic enrollment....

Last year I signed up the week before the promo ended, and the double points backdated to the beginning of the promotion. I'm glad that Amtrak does that.

I'm pretty excited because I'm taking a lot of short-distance trips on the Keystone where $16 will get me 200, but also taking my first LD trip for this, so should be racking up my points !
I also ride the Keystone during double days from ELT to HAR or LNC..Senior fare $11.05. I just hit 40,000 points in June and booked a nice two zone each way trip from TOL to SLO, taking the longest way possible..The EB Westbound and The Texas Eagle Eastbound.
Always trying to save money and do different routes. I'm taking Megabus to Chicago and back $3.50 round trip in October and I'm riding to Princeton on the SW Chief and back later in the day.
I figure in a couple of years with AGR points and hopefully finding another 50% points sale I'll be booking another long distance trip.

Is it 8xxx buses that give no points? I'm thinking of the Lynchburg-Roanoke connection.
I used an upgrade coupon for a Monday trip...the AGR agent told me that double days starts on 9/8.....not sure why there wasn't an announcement...

There is still time. I wouldn't blame AGR if they wait until Monday. Experience has likely told them that waiting to make the announcement stops a lot of calls from folks POed that they can't register, for a promotion that has not even started yet, from clogging up AGR's phone lines.

I have SE status, so I have auto-registration. I was concerned about those that may not be enrolled in time....
You can register after your trip during the promotional period and get the points retroactively.

Just to clarify the promotion applies to trip date and not when you book it? I just booked a trip five minutes ago then saw this thread about the promotion starting in two days :angry2:

Yep! Its when you travel, not when you booked. You'll be fine.
