Discussion as to HOW you will redeem points for Amtrak travel has been non-existent here and elsewhere. Does anyone have a sneak preview? In particular I have two questions

1. Can it be done via the website? The only thing remotely relevant in the Sneak Preview FAQs is

Q: How do I purchase a ticket with both points and money?

A: Coming in 2016, you’ll be offered a combination of points and cash during the booking process for tickets, so you can spend less of both.
It doesn't say telephone booking process.

2. If I understand it correctly, the days of two travelers in a room requiring the same number of points as one is over. So will the second person be able to use their points for their portion of the fare? Previously, the answer was no, but that made sense because they weren't being charged any points.
